If the second person was a football player wearing cleats to put on your passenger seat, no you were not wrong at all!

In 1972 I had the Disneyland Ambassador (a beautiful young lady who met and escorted VIPs at the Magic Kingdom) ride in a parade on my decklid.

She was no problem but the slow pace almost boiled the cooling system!

The other thing that won't hold up is insurance. One misjudgement on the clutch engagement point or some spectator causing you to tap the brakes and your insurance coverage is toast - no seatbelts - over loaded 2 passenger car.

It will probably never happen, but if it does - are you covered? Only your agent knows for sure.

"Not to worry, here is 427HotRod riding queen style on my deck at the BG Forum Cruise-in 2006. I suspect he weighs more than your two girls.

That's good, Jim!! Looks like a couple of baby dinos just emerging from a silver egg......

Having said all that I think the notion of running it by your insurance agent would take off some of the heat. If he/she says "no" you have an out. I agree these cars are made for fun, but if somebody gets hurt a jury won't be too sympathetic. (unless it's made of CF members!)
