    Don't look at it as a bad thing. Having one saved my head one time. Went over a bump way too fast and next thing I knew i had a momentary glimpse outside my sunroof. Was very glad I let it roll open that day :D

    i had to fabricate my brackets to lower me, or ruin my back. Sunroof is never used and takes 2" of valuable space.

    That's the only reason I fit in my Jetta lol.

    Went to test drive a corvette over the weekend and I couldn't fit... very depressing

    sadly being 6'8" i have to lean back and go all the way back, so the sunroof is actually in front of my head.

    If you think Corvettes are bad, try a Viper. I'm not that tall but even I struggled a little bit on that one

    Yeah I'm only 6'3" so I'm not that rough but most my height is in my legs and I refuse to buy an automatic trans. Clutch pedal makes my knee and the steering wheel close friends.

    I just threw a supercharger on a 98 with over 200k. Guess we will see how long that lasts!

    My 96 Tacoma always heated up on hills. Fine on level ground.
