No fat people in the back seat, or the battery will set the car on fire - springs touch the terminals. Good thing they used straw stuffing in the seats.

Oh, I remember my 1976 orange Beetle at the strangest times.
Yup, I cover the positive terminal with a plastic guard. Any excessive bouncing in the back seat, even with skinny people, can have the same effect. Ask me how I know. By the way, it's been a long time since I've been skinny...
