had an 83 f100. the first time I took a turn too fast I got thrown into the passenger seat.

I'm lucky it was a back road and I had legs long enough to still press the brake enough to slow down enough to get back into the driver seat and carry on.

wasn't long after that and I got a newer truck with bucket seats.

sure, benches were fun and easy to fucksleep on but the safety trade off made it an easy choice to make.

    I'm sure it had one, once.

    keep in mind this was an f100. it had lights, wheels, a windshield, and a steering wheel. I was lucky it had a radio and heat. zero power steering.

    so when you turned, you had to put everything into the turn. that day I just didn't have enough for the turn and to stay seated.

    Yeah I had a manual steering car before, it sucks. I had a wrist cast and almost at the end of the cast time I was turning the steering and felt the bone crack again.
