Default where's the big folks?

What up my fellow tallmen and/or women. i was wondering how many people are over six feet tall and drive preludes. I get stopped all the time with people saying that my car is too small for me. I just reply that in Mississippi, people/rednecks that drive big jacked up trucks are compenstaing for something. i am just overcompensating. so tell me any other big people drive ludes and they don't necassarily have to be over six feet tall. Just big or tall and drive a lude.

6'3

I get that too when people first see my car - they think I can't get in it. Too bad they don't realize that you're half lying down to sit in a prelude. Like the other person said - I don't even put my seat all the way bad - steering wheel would be too far away

6,4 175, its all in my legs with the seat an inch from all the way back. I always have to adjust the passenger seat back after most girls get out because it drives me crazy to look over and see the seat way up from mine. And theres a bunch of ****** rednecks around here that buy big trucks to make themselves 5,2 115 pounds feel bigger. I mean trucks way in the sky. Although some of them are really nice. I also have a few really tall friendss that drive civics.

I'm 6'1" and I weigh 170. I have a good amount of leg room but the head space is kinda low. Whenever I wear a hat the bill hits the top of the car. Other than that I have a good amount of space.

I find it hard to believe about every post people are over 6, but yeah headroom is a bitch, If someone was 6,5 they would prolly hit there head depending on how there proportioned. If we flip the car its prolly gonna breck our necks
