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/agree.gif) BGIF - butt goes in first. I'm also 6'3" and I have stock seats that have been bolstered slightly. No big bolsters for me.
