I grew up in the 70's when cars were very large. They were so large, that I could lay down in the floorboard of the back seat and sleep. Doing this, you could feel every rocking of the car over bumps, etc. I used to think that the roads turned into water and the cars turned into boats. This was, of course, hidden from me because I was a kid.
