Doody,

I am the same way about the backseat of a 2-door car. I hate it, I feel trapped, I feel panicked, it's sooo hard to get in and out.... and guess what, our car is a 2 door

The only time I ever have to sit in back is when we have my gram - everyone else I make them climb into the back, but no way can I let my 84 year old gram get in the back. If I'm am feeling physically well enough to drive, then I make hubby get in the back, but this past weekend was a nightmare for me so there was no way that I could have driven.

You also mentioned the spring and fall flares - I can relate to that too. Mine are usually in early spring (end of snow, start of rain) and late fall (end of rain, start of snow). But I think this year my fall flare is coming early
