My mom, dad, and I traveled from Oregon to Michigan (and back) in the
mid 80's in a 1982 Mazda RX-7 with the optional back seat installed. I
was around 12 or so at the time and had to lean to the right most of the
time so I could fit!

Your son would not have liked our 1978 drive across the US vacation my
parents, brother, and I made in a cramped Mazda RX-3 wagon with nothing to do
but read books and play "Beetle" (a car spotting game that assigns points
based on various Voltswagon models) on long stretches of route 80 in the
Midwest and again across the state of Texas.
