OK, so that isn't our SX4. It's the crazy SX4 Zuk race car thing dropped on us a few months back that had a racing seat sized for .86 Riswick. I was a good 2.5 inches from the seat bottom, stuck on the side bolsters. Magrath said, "hey, go grab the SX4." I laughed and answered, "um, unable to comply."
Any way, I don't fit in the regular SX4 either. There is no driver seat adjustment and the set position is too high in the back (photo after the jump). I feel like I'm hovering above the controls and I'm needlessly close to the roof despite the greenhouse being the size of Biodome. It makes an otherwise pleasant car to drive completely miserable. But I suppose it could be worse ^^^.

Wow, with the hat & sunglasses on, you could be mistaken for me trying to get into that same car. It's eerie, in fact. I've definitely been there, done that with race seats. The joys of being 6'7" and into cars...

audisport: I've been a fan since 1999, which was Peyton's second season.
cr_driver: I didn't have Chris Walton around this morning to take a picture of me in the SX4. Though, it wouldn't have been particularly interesting.

I am indeed happy! Although it was my suggestion that these pictures be used as motivation for people to visit your new Carpool blog. Still, beggers can't be choosers right?
PS on a more serious note, I'm just a tad taller then you so these photos directly relate to my vehicle comfort.
