I am 6-foot-7, 260 pounds, with size 15 shoes and a 7-foot wingspan. I have no chance getting in or out of the car unless the top is down and the seat is pushed and tilted as far back as possible. Even then, I have zero legroom, knee room, or foot room. Good thing it is my wife's car - I drive it as little as possible....
I've been hoping for years to see the video posted.
try getting out in heels and a skirt in a tiny LA parking space. ugh. valet when possible
Ok, I'm game, but I think the consequences are going to be far greater for me then just embarrassment in this one horse town. And I think my Valet button is broken. I push and push but Mr. Bates never shows up!
I'm about 6'. rear end in first, duck head and spin around. Getting out isn't as bad. It's funny, I just saw an old re-run of Two and a Half Men with Charlie and his brother Alan in Charlie's XK8 and they show Alan (in passenger's seat) being squashed against the windshield when Jenna Elfman and her daughter climb into the back seat. I'm thinking there's no way that isn't a studio mock-up in the close ups because Jenna Elfman is 6' tall - in the back seat of an XK8 ?
I injured a knee a few years ago and discovered the method of sitting down first then keeping ones knees together swiveling both legs together into the footwell. Getting out is the reverse of getting in. The only problem was the footwell wasn't deep enough. Then quite by chance another contributor to the site upload an extension piece he had fabricated and installed that moved the seat back another inch and a half. I tried it and it works, now I can get in and out without difficulty and have all the legroom I need.
Here's the picture he posted.
