Ignorant means one does not know, not that one is stupid; to claim one is ignorant is not necessarily an insult. It would be accurate to say that you were ignorant of the fact that any automotive seat that is not a bench would be considered a bucket seat.

Oh... I had always thought bucket seats were the ones that were curved to fit the giants and racing seats were the somewhat flattish seats (meant for people of average height). Both being that they don't adjust.

Learning something everyday. Lol

stock seats are seats with bolsters.

and the race seats are fixed back composites with boltsers.

so your saying my car has a bench seat even though it looks like the "Plain Old Seat" pictured above(Page2)... it doesn't look like a bench seat... which normally means it can fit 3 people on it... My back seat is a bench seat cause it can fit 3 people...

No, the "plain old seat" is a bucket seat

It is what it is. Sometimes language is too dynamic to categorize things that fall on a continuum, that's where you get into arguments over semantics and what something is or isn't is lost.

The headrests should not be adjustible. The slight curve forward in the headrest is an anti-whiplash safety feature. No joke.

I'm hoping for a flat with the back rest headrest, because wearing a helmet in that tilt forward head rest is no good.
