Hey guys, I just got back from a 7 hour drive, one. this is for sure, my ankle feels like its bruised, i have a size 18 foot, to get the pedal and brake, i have to pivot my food on my heel. And my back feels like it just got sent threw the worst spin cycle on a kenmore drier. What do you guys do for this kind of stuff, i mean, im gonna be doing these long distant drives alot. I feel that i will get used to it, but in my mothers old car, i never had this problem, i tried moving the seet, adusting the angle, moving it up and down, i did cruise control for a bit, but that didnt help with the back, just the sore ankle, plus, half of the trip was stop and go.
Is there anything i can get, or any tips on how to make my ride more comfortable, thanks guys

size 17 feet.


Ideal, I feel for you buddy. Do you have cruise control? Try and rotate your feet and keep em moving. Its hard to do in my stripped out no options DX.

btw, im 6'5"

 

DAMN...you white boys are big....haha...well im 6'1"...not much shorter than yall.

 

who you callin a cracka?...6'1 here as well...but damn, only size 13 feet...

 

haha yeah CRACKA..haha jk! size 12 over here....wait why are we talkin about this??

 

Damn, I am short compared to you.....size 13 shoes, but only 5'9".

 

hehe, im actually 6'2 3/4 according to my last physicall, eww, cold fingers, "cough", "cough again". So the only idea would be the cab driver beeded thing, alright, ill look into it, thanks for the info.

my part time job at brookstone, we sell personal vehicle seat massagers. heh heh...$199. but its pretty tight foo....comes w/cigarrete lighter adapter too. nah j/p..i'm lil shy to say my height now..feel like a freakin midget.....throw me a freakin bone here....

 

my 4th gen seat doesn't seem very comfortable...some lumbar support would be nice

 

serius, if i had some doe i would change out the drivers side seat, damn i hate car repair bills... hey, dont worry about height, as long as your above 5'1 its all good.

right?
edit: forgot "hate" ^^

Man, my wifes 97SE and my 91ex both hurt my back after about 5 hours of driving. I borrowed the in laws Suburban for a road trip once and it didn't bother me at all. Now I am off this weekend in my new 2002EX. Will see if the new leather seats will help with my back. I don't know what it is with the accords, but man am I uncomfortable in them after a couple of hours.

 

I'm 6 foot w/size 13s too and I'm a bit cramped.Maybe this is why we are Accord guys and not civic guys.
Anyone ever driven a prelude? With the seat all the way back I can stretch out very comfortably..tons of front seat room.

 

yeah ludes are very nice! my seat is all the way back so really only 3 people can ride in my car...it sucks.

 

4th gen ludes suck, the rear seats are practically useless.

 

Well, I'd like to see some of you fit in the back of the 924.....I'll leave you the hacksaw at the door to adjust your legs.

 

Those prelude backseats are a joke.I think they're just there for insurance purposes.But man ,those spacious front seats are nice. And those porsche backseats look like you would need a shoe horn to get a baby's car seat in.

 

we are all tall aren't we
i am 6'2" and with a 13 shoe

 

this is true
