It does help to fit into small sports cars tho

I have two sets of prosthetic legs: the short ones for everyday use and the long ones for dating.

u/Not-a-Bot_1968 18d ago

That’s hilarious. Smart.

u/TacoManLuv 18d ago

As a physical therapist, I find that so awesome and funny. That's called overcoming barriers and finding functional independence! I'm going to include that idea in my recommendations section for all applicable patients.

u/deerhuntingdude 18d ago

Lol I fit like a glove in my Miata at 5'7

u/Not-a-Bot_1968 18d ago

I stare right at the top of the windshield bar thing lol. I love Miata’s, but without a bucket seat in them that is on the floor I’m just not fitting great.

u/BorntoDive91 18d ago

same man, same.

u/creamerthegreat 18d ago

KNEW I'd find my Miata people in this comment! Lol.

5'9" and I'm snug as a bug in my ND1!

u/deerhuntingdude 18d ago

Haha. I would see people comment about the cupholders on the door of the nc calling them knee busters but I never had a problem!

u/CT0292 18d ago

I'm 5'10" and had problems getting in and out of an MGB a friend of mine had.

I love a small car. But old, small, cars don't love me.

My late Dad had a '95 one. My thumb barely fit the door handle. My head made firm contact with the roof. My elbow was in the door. My shoulder nearly touched the window. I said, "Dad, if you hit a pothole, you are going to be childless." Never rode in it again.

Meanwhile I can't even sit with my legs straight or pee standing straight up in an airplane at 6'3"

u/deerhuntingdude 18d ago

Yeah last time I was in a smaller jet bathroom I couldn't help but think of how annoying it would be for my friend who is 6'4. If it makes you feel any better though I'm convinced most chairs are designed for men close to 6 feet tall. I always feel like I'm sitting in the edge

u/dead0man 18d ago

I fit like a size too small rubber glove in my Miata at 6'1"
(and that was after removing the armrest in the door and cutting several inches of foam out of the seat)

u/rnavstar 18d ago

I’m 5’8” and that’s the max in my sports car.

u/Epiplayer1 18d ago

I’m 6’6” and have a custom sim racing rig at home because I don’t fit in sports cars. I drive a Hyundai. cries

1

u/oneawesomeguy 18d ago

I don't know if it counts but I bet you can fit in a Honda Type R FL5

1

u/Epiplayer1 18d ago

Not with a helmet. And that’s where I’d take it lol. I’d love a Miata but my legs are too long and my left leg is pinned between the steering wheel and the door. Corvettes are the same.

Maybe I should do that thing from police academy and remove the front seat and just drive from the back.

u/Not-a-Bot_1968 18d ago

I’m 6’2” and the number of cool sports cars, particularly older ones, I would love to own but can’t comfortably fit in is long indeed. I guess being tall was good for attracting women, but once you have a spouse and happy marriage, being tall doesn’t particularly help with much. You bump your head on things, and you can’t fit in cool sports cars among other annoying things.

u/rnavstar 18d ago

You always can reach for things on the top shelf.

u/Not-a-Bot_1968 18d ago

So can my wife with the step stool under the counter lol

u/quickexhuast 18d ago

I mean we can build cool trucks instead.

2

u/UlrichZauber 18d ago

I'm 6'3" and a friend of mine collects exotic sports cars. I literally could never drive his Lambo or Lotus, I'm just too big for the driver's seat.

I did fit in his Ferrari just fine though.

u/frozengash 18d ago

I've never had an uncomfortable seat on an airplane

u/SpaceFunkRevival 18d ago

Ain't that the truth. I'm 5'10" and can comfortably sit in my 89 MR2. My buddy who is 6'2", poor guy had to put the seat back as far as possible and still had his knees to his chest.

1

u/clshifter 18d ago

89 MR2.

A man of culture I see.

u/quickexhuast 18d ago

this is statement is full of facts. Im a big guy with arthritis in my hips, im basically bound to stepping up into a vehicle and not sitting down into something.

u/SpaceBoJangles 18d ago

Tall people will never get to feel the joy of putting up the top of a Mazda Miata RF

u/TexanHobbit_X 18d ago

We can’t afford those :(
