I know it's the wrong time of year and drive-in movie theaters are few and far between these days, but I was thinking that the tC would be great for one. Just park with the rear end facing the screen, open the hatch, fold over the rear seats so you can lay down, and enjoy.

My only question is, does the dome light stay on as long as the hatch is open with the key in the ACC position? If so, then forgot the whole idea

 

no you can turn the domelight off i believe.....if not, take the bulb out

 

oh yeah you suck because there arent any drive in's near me.....sigh!

 

Um... If you could fold the seats the other wya it might be good, but if you fold the rear seats flat, you're not going to have the most comfortable space unless you've got a lot of blankets and pillows in there. There is no better drive-in car than a pickup. Face it backward with a mattress in the bed. That works pretty nice.

 

nah, park normally, fold the front seats flat, and recline the rear seats. unfortunately there's no more drive ins in LI.

 

Ah, that's right. There's the switch right on the lights where you can just switch them to off completely.

I figure if you put something on top on the rear seats, you can fold them forward so they don't lay down completely. That way you have a bit of an incline to watch the movie... if indeed you go to a drive-in to watch the movie ;-)

 

Right... you could do that. Or you could do like Dante said - turn the car into "party mode" or whatever they call it. If you get the right angle, you might be able to see out the sunroof. You lose a lot more angle of vision out the front from being far back, but it might be nice for... other things

 

With the hatch open someone behind you would probably get ____ed off.
It is sad there are not as many drive-ins. The last one in OC that I knew of became an evil WalMart

 

I doubt it... there are actually a couple drive-ins left in San Diego (don't know about Seattle - the weather doesn't really work for it here) and they are all arranged with little "hills" to angle your car up toward the screen. Because of this you don't have a big problem blocking other peoples' line of sight.

 

there's one out in riverside, off the 91, it's a bit of a drive but it's definetly worth it

 

There is only one in the St. Louis area, that I know of and its about 15 min East into Illinois. (Location: Belleville, and its called the skyview: 2 screens)

 

Viper,

There is also one in the Sullivan/Bourbon area, don't know exactly I called there once for movie times but have never gone

 

There is one in Riverside - I miss it

 

well, the xB is better for the drive in. j/k
