first, I slide my right leg in and nail the seat with my ass. Soon after that, I swing
my left leg in and then bungie cord my cock to the right side of the ashtray, so it won't get caught in the steering wheel. |

speaking of getting in and out of the 914. im in the middle of a build, and the topic of seats came up today. im a little concerned about going with high bolstered seats. i dont want it to be a super PIA getting in and out of it. i have almost ruled out putting in a roll cage because im worried about getting in and out of it.

I enter via the passenger seat.
Head first and then careful not to bag myself on the shifter. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mellow.gif) WTB: Replacement Driver's door handle. |
