| Whats this thing in every backseat of a car? (well most)
Ever thought about ripping that thing off the car because of the waste of leg room in the back seat? I have. What is it anyway?
Almost every car has this "wall" except SUVs. But there are actually cars that don't have it, like my own, the Acura 1.7el. Know any other vehicles that dont have this wall? Lets hear.
Edit: can someone delete my thread or take away my fails?

The hump is there for the transmission and drive shaft on rwd cars. On some FWD cars it is for the exhaust system.

The Civic EK and the gen after has this "flat floor" feature which they boast it will give the rear seat more room.
That's about it. The hump gives the car more torsional rigidity than a flat floor too in theory. Like a piece of S shaped piece of steel is stronger to bending than a flat one.

One interesting feature is a flat floor. Despite wholesale adoption of front-wheel drive in the car industry, the old "tunnel" has remained prominent in many cars because of the rigidity it promotes. Honda has found a way to maintain the rigidity while gaining additional space.
Resistance to torsion in the body is up by 53 per cent, and bending stiffness by 19 per cent. New body assembly techniques have allowed for reductions in body panel apertures of up to 50 per cent, for a higher quality look

It's a gun holder and a space for the optional fridge your dealer offers. Some say it's where the squirrel/hamster lives that power your car. It's also the most ideal seating position for your girlfriend since it makes her spread her legs. Posted via RS Mobile |

You can let her lie down perpendicular on the laps of the two girls in the back. Problem Solved. If you are super pimp, stuff two in the trunk and pretend to accidentally go over speed bumps. Again, problem solved.

Fail to all who thought I literally wanted to "rip" the hump out. And fail to all who thinks low of me just because I am not TeChNiCaL with automobiles.
