Just for fun let's say I won the grand-prize of a custom-designed Pontiac Solstice, could I put a ff'ing carseat in the front? This is the grand-prize in a lottery up here in Saskatchewan. The car is valued at $109,000...tickets are $25 each or 3 for $50. I don't think I can even buy a ticket because I am a volunteer member of one of the orgnizations that is benefitting from the lottery. :( Then there's the whole carseat issue....:rolleyes:

OH YEH! If you win that, I wouldn't worry about putting a car seat in it-because the kid would be staying home! That's a sharp car, you could always keep it for a few months and then sell it.

I sat in a Solstice's corporate twin, the Saturn Sky convertible, recently at the local dealership. I didn't investigate whether there was an airbag switch for the passenger side frontal airbag. I was too busy trying to figure out how to fit comfortably behind the wheel, and convinced myself not to take it for a test drive, lol. I'm 5' 6" and it was really hard to find a comfortable position behind the wheel. With the driver's seat moved up enough so I could reach the pedals, my knees were touching the lower edge of the dash and I felt like I needed to duck down to actually see through the windshield, lol. It could be a fun car if you can drive it comfortably and find a sitter for the kids. :) There's also no interior storage really whatsoever, and the tiny trunk is taken over by the top when it's lowered.

I guess if I win I'll be budgeting for a babysitter for the summer months so I can cruise. Then sell it in the fall so I can pay the babysitter, lol.
