TMI, sir.

Darn, you went to a 13" wheel. All this time I have been debating changing the 15" to a 14", and you go right to the 13". Wow. I just never wanted to do it because I thought it would look funny. I should have changed it.

My driving posture is hunched forward (head sticks up above winshield and visor). Left knee area rests against door, right leg sideways with toes pointing to the right (to clear under the steering wheel).

This required some getting used to initially, especially from a braking standpoint. I use the ball of my right foot to brake, but it approaches the pedal on an angle in order to keep my leg from hitting the steering wheel. But this is OK because it makes blipping the gas pedal at the same time fairly easy.

The things that stick with me the most about all this:
-the car is fairly comfortable to drive, even on long trips.
-you can get used to nearly any driving position after time.
-I maybe should have changed to a 14" wheel a long time ago.
