11. When I was in college

I remember while working as a counselor there for new students over a summer, one of our fellow counselors had one and on July 4th, we fit 9 of us in one and drove from Amherst, MA to Brewster, MA on the Cape (a bit more than 90 miles). On the trip back, we only 7 in there (the other 2 hopped a ride in another car).

It's unbelievable how "small" they look on the outside but with the bench seats front and back, they were roomy as hell inside.
