Word of advice to C class owners...

This happened to me couple times before and I can actually laugh about it now but it was painful for who actually got hurt or experienced “this” while sitting in the back seat of my car. If you are thinking about something weird and kinky, u are wrong.. lol

Remember that our front seats are well caved in and provides decent supports on tight turns. I still envy C63 seats but C55 provides enough supports for my needs.

Problem is that our back seats are just plain and when people are in the back seat, you cannot (learnt this in hard way.. lol) turn sharp corners at high speed...if two people are sitting in the back, one passenger can slide one side to other if they aren’t prepare for what’s coming to them (oh **** handle ftw) and it could cause serious damage to the person and the car..(Broken window…?)

Last night made me realize how dangerous it could be when your passengers are let’s say….drunk...

So I'm the DD and I'm about to make a U-turn after a night out... I see that roads are empty and there aren't any oncoming traffics so my friend who sat next to me in the front said let’s see what this car can do......I was like…. Ok…..

I smash gas enough to break traction. Tires are spinning and as soon as I turn my steering wheel slightly to the left, car slides out, and nice 180 turn was well executed (8/10 in my book).. then went WOT to go through first two gears in M mode.

When the car came to stop and a traffic light, I used my mirror to check on my drunken friends and they were in serious pain…Screaming, kicking, and cursing…… I knew I heard something while car was fish tail’n.. I thought car ran over something on the road (like a plastic bottle or something)… Turned out, girl sat by the driver side head bang’d other girl in the from pass side due to monstrous G force then one sat behind me hit her head on the left rear window again thanks to other girl when the car was corrected from over steering.

Fortunately, girls were ok and widow was ok as well. They said they didn’t know what I was going to do and one girl kinda blacked out (one got hit twice) for few min…

So in conclusion, kindly let others know and let them to be prepare for what’s coming… I don’t even want to think what the night would’ve been like if the window was shattered and girl who sat behind me was seriously injured…

Cliff: Back seats on our car is POS -> People will slide and could get seriously hurt if you don’t let em know that you are going to be Lewis Hamilton on few turns or whatever…


Thanks for reading and have a fantastic weekend!

lol if everyone is drunk then no one cares whats most important is the tail that you slept with that night. I hear you though I have scared a lot of girls in my car, most girls dont appreciate the power we have they just love the star on the hood.

if you got two girls in the back seat, shouldn't you be doing some other activity with them, that requires the car to be stationary and not trying to take them on the touge?

Or at least wear the seatbelt

Although I like your idea MUCH better

Honestly, though - who really wears seatbelts in the backseat?

This is true. I guess this is this way because our cars are supposed to be more of a luxury sports sedan. My buddy's RX-8 has just as much support in the back seats as in the front. It comes in handy because that car handles incredibly. He doesn't even slow down on turnpike exit jug handles.

We do in CA. It's the law. Honestly. I guess NJ folks do not
adhere to safety.

Next time tell your dumbass friends to wear their belt or get walking. One unbuckled passenger can kill the whole car in the event of an accident.

Years ago I was in Ireland on vacation and there was public service commercial that VIVIDLY illustrated that point. Blew me away.

But yes, I remember I was cleaning back there and found it pretty easy to slide around between the seats as well. One thing that mostly goes unnoticed is the alcantara on the left and right outside shoulders back there as well
