      This looks really interesting for those of us with big commutes!

        @scottalanmiller Interesting concept. To me, they look like enclosed motorcycles.

            @Hubtech You're 6'7"?! Wow, you may be one of the few people I know or have met taller than me...

              I'm a big guy (more girth than height sadly) but surprisingly I fit in tiny cars better than most people. I drive a Chevy Spark today and it is huge for me. My RX7 is super comfy.

                @scottalanmiller Might be the height factor - tall folks just don't fit in tiny cars.

                  @scottalanmiller As far as fitting in smaller cars, I'm very weird in that even though I'm 6'4" or very close to that I HATE driving with my legs extended. I put my seat at the same spot as someone a foot shorter than me. I rest my right knee against the dash as I can't drive with my knees in free space. So, I fit in my Kia Optima quite nicely even though I'm pretty sure no one else in the world is comfortable driving the same way I do as far as sitting.

                    @Katie Depends. It's odd because in the back seat I HAVE to have a lot of leg room. In the front seat I will intentionally move my seat up. I'm really weird...

                      @ajstringham How do I include a quote when replying? I wanted to include the part where A.J. says he is really weird and I wanted to agree. 😛

                          Like this? It's the quotes next to the blue reply button on each post. If you don't see it, refresh the page.

                                  I like the Elio. Legally, under federal guidelines, it is a motorcycle. Unfortunately, most of the reason I got rid of my bike is because it didn't have much room to carry anything, and I like to carry on conversations with my wife when we're going somewhere. This doesn't solve either very well (it would be weird to talk to her in the back seat like that), so I can't justify it. 😞

                                        What year RX7? 2nd or 3rd Gen? We used to race the 13b and 20b motors back in high school i've been close to 200 in a 3rd gen
