Yep, that helps. Now I can really believe my eyes -- they built the P4 around a giant steel tree trunk! No wonder it cost so much, getting it out of there!

EDIT

another joke that failed. sheesh!

Look at all of the space between the rear wheel and the parcel shelf in the "crash" drawing.
I wonder why they left that much room; can't be travel space for the rear wheel, the frame would bottom out before the wheel hit the shelf.
Looks like it can be lowered a few inches; hmmm new secret secure space to hide things in.
Or the drawing is not that accurate. (More than likely)

Well... the car that I was holding out to be replaced by the elio still runs, but it definitely a junker. I'm driving it to your town... now where is that again?
Me too, as the day after Schnitzer took over our area the price dropped from $225/T to $65 and has remained there for 3+ years.

The drawing show the parcel shelf (trunk floor) as higher than the seat back -- definitely an error.
