\...Just make sure the wheel is all the way up. Ever tried driving a car w/the steering wheel in your crotch? It sucks....when making turns, if your not carefull, a hand can cause some real pain...if you get what Im saying. :lol:
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Ever try to get into a pre-97 F-150 that doesn't have tilt? I have to wedge my thigh under that steering wheel :lol:
Pre-87 Chevrolet trucks are worse. They've got about 28 inches of leg room and 48 inches of head room. Makes you wonder what kind of mutant those were designed for. 6'8" with a 26 inch inseam? :rolf:

im 6'2" and with my stock seat, it was back all the way, then forward 1 click and fairly straight up, my problem was my legs are longer then my arms, and if i get in a comfortable position for my legs, i cant reach the steering wheel comfortable with my arms.

That was with stock seats.

I now have Tom Motorsports CF buckets, on buddy club ultra low pro seat rails, witht he seats mounted as low as they'll go, and i find the driving position very comfortable, my legs are more straight out and forward, and i can still reach the steering wheel.

.

All airbag equipped cars are like that. :what: My Mazda has tilt/telescopic and I have it pulled towards me a little bit.

The shifter on the Cobalt/G5 feels too far back after driving a Honda. 5th gear feels like about where 4th would be on a Honda.

Drive a '70s car with the deep dish steering wheel and it seems like the steering wheel is right on your chest. It just feels WAY too close. :lol:
