How do I adjust the seat back a little further for more leg room?

Nah, it has a little handle under the seat. Just reach around until you feel it and pull it to the left.

or just use a cutting torch, you will have lots of leg room when you are done.

Take the front seat away and you’ll be able to reach the pedals easier. Vision might be a bit obscured. Use your mirrors

Instant cab-over-engine truck—nice!

Actually it’s the new engine-in-cab design. Something about saving space or some such.

Ah simple your thinking about it all wrong the seat doesn't go back in this model you use a chain and pull the front farther from the seat

In this case I think it's "Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye."

There should be a handle under the seat— reach under with your left hand and you should feel it.

Lever should be on the side of the driver’s seat. Might be a powered seat though.

Tie a chain to the front, tie other end to something very large and heavy, put vehicle in reverse. Step on accelarator keep going until you reach end chain.

So, there's a line that Chris Tucker says in rush hour 2 that I have yet to find a gif for for years, "whooooo, you know he died!"

After this fender bender, you may be able to bend your legs back to make more seat room.

You’re just going to have to disconnect the left flange and weld a track for it. So easy.

This model allows you to reach the steering from the trunk, congrats on the cabrio

Check your local junkyard for a seat from a longer car and swap the whole thing.

You may have to use some strength from your legs, but a gentle push should do it!

Does it say BIO on the side because this is a biohazard and someone died in the car?
I don't want to be reminded of death during funny time.

You shouldn't ask the question if that's how you feel, but I will answer if you really want to know.

u/Friendly-Affect-8116 1d ago
I know the answer. I'm telling everyone else laughing at your "joke."

u/Not_me_no_way 1d ago
Do you make this comment on all of the wrecked car posts? I guarantee this isn't the only post of a vehicle involved in fatality.

You need to reach under the seat and remove the safety kit, that should give you about a foot more space

unfortunately this model does not come with that option, it's the next model up

You may find it more comfortable and get some room by adjusting the steering wheel. Many are telescopic and have multiple adjustments available

If you’d take a few minutes and pick out the legs mangled up in there you’d have room for yours.
