Wow, a drive in? We had one here in Durango, until a couple of years
ago. Me and the kids would watch movies through the rear hatch, with
lots of bedding and popcorn, 140lb malamute (Zappa) included. This was
in my first Syncro, 86 GL with the BIG sunroof. Sometimes I would let
the kids lay up there.........now they're all gone. Sniff.......
