Raise your hand if you happy you got a 2 seater

DEFINITELY happy my fun-car only has 2 seats. My DD is a 4-door, but I don't want to haul people around when I'm out having fun.

Do the subaru guys have to go too?


I'm glad I have a fun car with backseats, and one without. I like to be the one driving, and sometimes you need to bring people with you. Sometimes it's better to leave the other people without a ride though.

Loving the 2 seater

I'm a selfish driver anyways, I've had cars in the past with really bad rear seats (Honda Prelude eg) so really just care about up front comfort

People now just want to check out my car then say "ok, lets take something else" if there is a need for car pooling....or people call shotgun lol

both myself and whoever is riding in my passenger seat now can sit as far back as we want without ever thinking about dealing with moving our seats forward and the shelf behind the seats is good enough to seat a girl's large handbag.
only time i regret it so far is when i go somewhere with my parents, i can't take them in the z so i drive the suv.

my friend that i sold the integra to just ran into that problem a few weeks ago after going to a bar driving 2 girls home. 1 of them threw up on the outside and inside of the door and carpet. pained me to hear that happen to the car. stupid fat --beep--
Its funny reading this cuz I'm livin in tx now but I'm from Crooklyn. When I began reading where u were going with this story, I knew u had to be from NY. Shifted the screen n to my accurate perception, you are. Most people in new york don't buy cars due to insurance rates, traffic and high risk of theft/damage. But when you buy a car, you become a taxi service. Some people try to take advantage. When I had the monte and grand national it happened all the time. When I switched to the mazda rx7. It stopped. Lol.
I never changed my friends though. I just simply said no when I couldn't or charged them for gas when I could. Lol.
The trick to giving a ride in NY is do it when you have a quarter tank or less and make them fill u up or at least put half a tank. Lol. Eventually they stop asking.

Two hands in the air, very happy. I used to have a convertible with 4 seats and I never used the back seat ever. Also, having only two seats means that you have a legitimate excuse to not drive people around when they look for a ride haha.

also a good way if you have back seats is to have child seats in the back .... they dont ask for a lift either.

Two cars, no kids, and now, one two-seater is awesome!

As for those taller people with tiny backseats, you gotta show your friends who's boss in your car. When the seat in my Accord 6spd is adjusted for me, there's about 1-3/4" knee clearance between the back of the driver seat and the front edge of the back seat. I have driven it with four people in the car and no one behind my driver seat: me, passenger in the front seat, one in the backseat behind the passenger seat, and one in the trunk. No one sits behind me in that car.

100% agree. Back In highschool, I had to give many of my friends ride because I had a 4 door sedan. Now, I only give ride to the hottest chick in the party thanks to my Z. And when my friends and I have to car pool, no one bother asking me if I could drive. Its awesome how much gas and mileage I save
