Good question Space! Ive ridden shotgun/back seat twice. One time, I was going to pick up two of my friends at someones house. When we were walking back to the car, one of my friends hopped in the driver seat and she said "Can I pleaseeeeee drive???". Couldnt say no to her cuz i liked her so much so i just went with it. Then her best friend without even asking me sat in the front with her (and honestly I had a hard time telling her no as well, so I rode in the back. Kinda weird sitting in the back.

Second time went to go pick up my good friend to go out for a night. When we were walking back to the car, I just tossed her the keys (again, I liked her so much I was just trying to show her that I trusted her). She ended up driving my car around the whole night. Was different riding in the passenger seat). Was sooo fun. Kinda risky but worth it

I don't ever recall anyone riding in my back seat and I only rode in the passenger's seat once. My fiance was driving and that is the only person I will allow to drive my car.

I have kids so they get the back seat periodically, but for any kind of trips we generally take the wife's monte as the seats are a little more comfortable for her, but she does love the heated seats in my car. I have never been in the passenger seat of my car but have in her car I think 3 times as she hates driving and always wants me to drive. I do make my band mates get in the back seat of my car when they are drunk, one because it's safer for them to get home as I don't drink, and secondly because it's kind of funny watching them try to get out of the back seat lol

I've ridden back seat a few times after I had a few drink, and my car was the only way around... I put the keys in a sober and trusting person's hands and it was such a comfortable ride! I was blown away I wish I could ride in the back more often.

I've been told it's like the Batmobile sitting in the back, Black leather comfy seats <3

Dub, iv found that back seat to be quiet appropriately sized for all sorts of things

Never been the back seat of turbo monte and only people that have drove it are my dad when I first got it and it was stock and the wife has drove it a few times as it currently sits. She loves feeling the power at her finger tips once in a while and she is very good at handling it so I trust her. No one else is aloud though lol

No food in turbo monte and a drink with a cap only on long trips. Absolutely no smoking in her and I'm a smoker lol

Passenger once I think? I don't really eat, maybe a bottled water once in a while. Now smoking, yes I do that....




David (STUMPI) I thought you kicked the smoking.........

Only rode in the back seat once... My wife was driving and mom has both knees replaced, so me and my dad rode in the back... My dad and I wound up there after watching a soccer game which may have involved some dizzy pops...... Fun fact, the back seat is no fun, no windows to open, hard getting in and out and the ride quality sucks, other than that, pretty good...... Only other person to drive my car is my wife and the shop guy...

I can't believe that in this day and age, people still use the back seat for "other things"! That is so labored! That is a very dated practice going back to old days when cars had a back seat that was actually bigger than the front and didn't have the steering wheel to get in the way. In cars of today, including our Monte Carlos, it makes much more sense to use the passenger front seat reclined all the way for your action. Its still gonna be tight, even for a flyweight like myself. But much more do-able...
