We were allowed to roam free in the very back of my family's Ford Grand Torino Station Wagon... it was a fucking tank and it was great for road trips. Lay out a double layer of sleeping bags in the "back back", add some more blankets and some pillows and the kids will sleep through most of the car ride. It was great.
I had an aunt and uncle always had a station wagon for their 3 kids. Was not unusual for driver to jab the brakes to avoid a hazard and flip one or more kids out of the back and into the back seat foot wells.
I think if the kids clear in the back were getting rowdy, uncle H would deliberately jab the brakes too . . . .
now that I think about it, I think I was flipped out of the back of their station wagon into the rear seat foot well once too . . .
Damn, I cudda been hurt !!!
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
