QUOTE(bigkensteele @ Nov 28 2011, 11:43 PM)  QUOTE(Mr.242 @ Nov 28 2011, 08:19 PM) Do these things suddenly make you taller? Because when I buy a car, I usually know if I fit. I suspect the guy means: "After driving this car I have found that I am TOO TALL to completely hide myself from all the finger pointing and laughing as I drive this car. Therefore, I must sell to someone who is smaller. " (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) How tall do you have to be to be too tall for a 914? I am 5' 8", and I have the seat a few notches forward, and my head is nowhere near the roof. I am thinking that you would have to be 6' 4" or better before it would become an issue. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I am 6'2" and I am decidedly too tall for a teener. I love driving them, but even with the seat all the way back, my right thigh wants to occupy the same space as the bottom left 1/4th of the stock steering wheel, as well as the gear lever when it is in dogleg first. Also, to get to full pressure on the brake pedal, my knee has to come out practically past the steering wheel and bent at a 45 degree angle. Needless to say, no heel-toeing for me! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) < I wish it were that easy! |
