Just something to check, since a lot of people dont realize it at first.... You do know that the seat height adjustment works in a "pumping" motion, right? Meaning you can press it down, release, and repeat many times, making the seat progressively lower. I have just heard others that did not know that, thinking it only adjusted one pull up or down.

Yea short people can easily drive it haha
but if you are in the back that slanted roof thing is to your disadvantage....as it slants at you haha
I just went outside to check and yes....I can feel the coldness coming off the glass I am so close to it and if someone was driving and hit a bump I would easily slap my face against either the side or the roof haha

Leds in the housing will fail prematurely by the way. Companies make them, but they usually die soon due to heat. You are better off finding some blue bulbs for those sockets

yuup! I understand! Handle cant be pumped down anymore and the **** cant be turned anymore. But I am sitting fairly vertical compared to other ppl I see. I'm not a fan of sitting w/ the seat back slanted too much (ie:45 degrees)

This is offtopic, but I thought I would throw it in, seeing as we're in a height discussion.

I am 6'4/6'5 (I've heard both when measured) and when I first got in a tC, it fit well. I just loved the look and figured I wanted to atleast try it out. I lowered the seat down to the ground, and reclined it a little, and it was fine. So, from a guy who first tried it at 6'5, it fit nicely for me believe it or not.
