[QUOTE="Pkgrunner, post: 656839, member: 7207"] I have had that thrill....I forgot about the seat even though that scenario happened to me when I first drove an old 400... that also reminds me of the first time I drove one down a steep hill towards Sunset Blvd in LA and the POS wouldn't stop....I learned the hard way that you needed to pump the brakes up before you were going to drive down a hill....I did like the fold up shelves in the package compartment..... I've had many white knuckle experiences in in the p500(the car of the future) that replaced the old 400s....like steering boxes breaking while driving a windy road(nothing like the thrill of making a sharp turn and just having the steering wheel spin freely while the truck keeps going straight). Or the thrill of having the front right wheel come off on a mountain road only to be held on by the brake calipers. I had two instances in one day regarding a front bumper. Ever have the front bumper come off and strategically wedge under the front tires and act as a ski? I survived that, through the bumper into the package compartment and learned the "keep the bulkhead door closed if you have one" lesson the hard way when the bumper slid into the cab and wedged itself onto the accelerator...That damn thing had it in for me I nearly had two heart attacks within a hour of each other. I figure I must have some sort of guardian angel or just be freakishly lucky since I am still alive and none of those incidences caused any injuries or property damage. [/QUOTE]
