If you're that concerned about your coworker, let HIM drive and YOU sit in the passenger's seat.

Talk about torturing yourself . . .

that's the whole reason i want to drive - i don't like being a passenger....ESPECIALLY in MY car! i don't know this guy real well and don't know how good of a driver he is. don't want to find out on a 5 hour road trip, either.

I'm 6 foot 7 (1/2) and weigh about 272 pounds. I find my svx very comfortable. to drive, and pretty comfortable in the passenger seat. I don't and never have taken any passengers in the back seats. As far as I'm concerned, my svx is a "2" seater only. Your collegue should appreciate riding in an exotic, and you as the owner should enjoy driving your exotic. Driving is all the fun, as we all know...

My suggestion is to stop once an hour for a few minutes to stretch your legs, and that's about it...... My 7 cents worth....

thanks, thats the kind of input i was looking for. mine's a 3-seater - nobody sits behind me, but the wife is petite enough to leave alot of legroom for the passenger behind her. i'll be stopping often for a stretch and a smoke.

Exactly, stop every hour or so, if he complains, leave him at one of the stops.

anyone know if the tracks that the seats ride on can be moved? on my old car, you could remove the seats and adjust the tracks forward or back a little using different bolt holes on the tracks.
Awhile back my passenger seat stopped sliding all the way back. Found out that there was a quarter stuck in the track of the seat. Try gettin in there with a flash light and lookin. If so, you'll probably need to remove the seat from the car, and then get the whatever it is out.

I think Chris has the right idea,
i have a great story bout complainers i was told by a good friend. In FL there was a lot of pleasure fishing on the gulf and people would own a boat themselves and hire a captain to run it for them. On of these captains i knew was out on a trip and a guy was utterly annoying so he ran over to a sea bouy about 100 miles off shore and told him to jump on it and they would throw him a rope to tie the boat up to it. Instead they had him jump onto the bouy and took off. Left him there long enough to get over the horizon and fish for 20 minutes at a spot then went back and picked him up, he never complained or even said a word for the rest of the trip...

LMAO!!!! I loved that show! Your suggestion is still cracking me up!


I'm 6'2" 195 and rode for the first time in my passenger seat the other night. It definitely felt smaller when I got in, even with the seat pushed back. I had to recline the seat back a bit more and it felt better. After about 15 minutes I got used to it and pretty soon it felt as comfortable as any car I've ever been a passengar in.
