anyone with a crossfire in Warner Robins GA would allow me to sit in their car. Not drive it of course, but I'm 6'4" and I want to make sure I have plenty of room. I know there is someone here with one.

If it's to much to ask I understand.

I'm in NY so I can't help but I will tell you that I am 6'2" and glad I am not 6' 3".
Do sit in one before you decide.

 

Hey Aaron, I am in Warner Robins and would be more than happy to help you out. Only problem is that I own an SRT-6 Roadster. if you are thinking about a coupe, sitting in a roadster may be of little help to you. PM me if you are interested. The only other person from WR on this forum that is active that I know of drives an SLK 32, so that would be no help. PizzaGuy lives north of Macon, but he drives a Roadster as well.

 

not sure if the coupe gives more room than the roadster. I sat in a pontiac solistice and the steering wheel was right on my knees. So I have the same concerns with the crossfire and if the same happends then it will change my car options and I'd hate to change form the crossfire.

 

Bobby, Favor of a different kind please. I know there is an RB/WB57F on static display in your area, I would appreciate very much some photos of the bird. I spent 9 years with the birds at Kirtland and have very few pictures to show for it. Thanks a bunch. If you make it to St Louis next year, I owe ya!!!!

I'm 6'3" and I have a coupe
it doesnt bother me much but going on long road trips (north ga to cordele) starts to get a little uncomfortable

 

My BF is 6'4" and will do just about anything to avoid getting in my car. He says that it is like an adult sitting in a little kid's beach chair. I don't think it looks all that bad but he doesn't have any wiggle room. I haven't let him drive my XF but I don't think that he would fit behind the steering wheel. Mine is also a roadster .... I think the coupe has a little more headroom.

 

I will see what I can do. I have not been to the museum for quite some time. Maybe this is a good excuse to go there. That is a cool plane. I worked with the U-2's for several years... until about 3 years ago. I will try to swing by there this weekend.

 

Bobby, I posted this some time ago in "OTHER VEHICLES" GO TO THE POST THERE, ALL DISPLAYS ARE CLICKABLE.

I thought the base model had more headroom because it lacks power seats.
