    I simulated being short. The scoop doesn’t block anything you actually need to see. I don’t get what he problem is. I’m with just drive it until you’re used to it.

    Exactly. That takes all of 10min and a couple times parking to get used to. My wife was even able to get it parked nice and close to a light pole. I don't exactly get the issue, esp from someone that always wanted a pickup or jeep. :smack:

    I am happy (HAPPY!) to ride in the right seat. The stupid CVT ruins the drive.

    I would love it as well, but it’s only happened once in 16 years and only because my head was bleeding profusely. Even then she asked, can you hold a towel and drive?

    The wife must have a very short torso.
    I am 5'4 on a good day and have no issues with the seat or the skewp. I must have short legs.:notsure:

    I am 5' 10 and the damn skewp is a nuisance at times. No turbo breathing beneath it, what's the point?

    I tried for a while just because I enjoy driving more than she does and was sort of missing it since being exclusively on motorcycles for about four years. I would just find myself doing more and more not-really-completely-stupid things to be entertained instead of bored.

    How much more TW could happen if I got to be a passenger sometimes. Maybe I should trade my wife in too.

    There is no point. I'm indifferent about the looks. Although initially, it created a small problem for me with car wash soap and snow splashing up onto the windshield. I cured that by trimming off some of the underside. No more splashing and it is semi-functional now.

    There is always that and usually negotiate to take the Taco. We haven't done any long trips yet, but the daughters are happy enough in the back.

    I wish I could have even had that. She was only on the back to putter down our cul de sac once. I thought a sidecar might help, but that only got a couple loops around the cul de sac. The daughters were good sports though.
