    just want to make it clear here that non-functioning brake lights are irrelevant in a rear end collision. It is the driver in the back who is 100% at fault.

    This is not correct. Many states have 'comparative liability' laws. Many accidents have more than one contributing factor. If a rear-ender accident is 'ALWAYS' the fault of the rear vehicle, why do we have laws dictating brake lights? If an inspection or a filament test shows your brake lights were not in operation, you could be found partially liable for your own damage and injuries.

    Nope. The floor ended up too low to accommodate a third seat option. While Dad had a '78 Fairmont 2-door sedan, one of my friends' parents had a Zephyr wagon. We simply folded the rear seat and laid down in the back.
