   All my passengers have long legs :-(   
      
   I should remove the rear-seat headrests, but it's my OWN that bothers me   
   the most -- I have to tilt my body to the right in order to see around    
   the damn thing.  Parking lots are the worst -- the bastards can come at    
   you from all sides and just because the path was clear two seconds ago    
   doesn't mean that it's clear NOW.   
      
   I didn't really appreciate the seeability of the 1988 Caddy that tried    
   to kill me.  There are always tradeoffs, right?
