Heya Mark,

I am 6'3 280#. Needless to say a big dude. I have taken two LONG trips in my BDR and found it to be enjoyable. First piece of advice-have the seat taken off the tracks and bolted directly to the floor/frame. It made a big difference for me.

Second-try the car in the passenger AND the drivers seat. The steering wheel can get a bit tight and you'll need to drive the throttle and brake a little "side saddle". The steering wheel had little to do with weight, just the ergonomics of where it is VS. the footbox angle.

If I had it to do again, I go with Jay every time. He's been nothing but helpful throughout the process and after the car was delivered.

It's a great ride-have fun with the process and make it yours. Feel free to PM me should you have any furthur questions or want to talk in person about builds/options, etc. I did a ton of research. I'd love to help if you need any.

-Sean
