Driving

[ENBr]

Depends on the situation. In town, if I'm surrounded by other cars or theres just a lot of lights and stuff to watch, I keep both hands at 10 and 2. If I'm out in county where there's not much, I keep my left hand on the wheel and my right arm on the center console.

I'm quite the opposite!

When in city and need quick responses, I usually keep one hand on the wheel (my right ), and the left on the gearstick ready to change gears. Sometimes i do keep both, but when at speed and need to swerve to avoid possible car doors opening.

On the motorway, I keep both hands on (esp in the wind) to keep control at high speed (70mph).

Wind is a killer. Definitely both hands on steering wheel then.

If I just use one, I have a tendency to under or overcorrect.

However at the same time, if I use both hands at 10-2, the same problem happens... so I just keep them at around 8-4.

Wind is a constant state of being here

Can't wait for summer when I can roll down the windows, turn on the aircon (separately of course), and enhance the lives of everyone I pass by good music: like CHILDREN OF BODOM or acoustic SEETHER! Woo!

You last three..

Jon, that coffee does not count, since YOU NEEDED TO WAKE UP!!! I will give you that.


Blake!?!?! you... eating in the jeep.. I guess i will say that your jeeps interior is not as clean as its exterior.. [-( what a disappointment.


marlon answered it all. These jeep seats are pain to clean, has anyone ever looked into the crack where back meets cushion? it is like circus in there, once I found a sesame seed that my uncle dropped when he took the jeep for a drive.. I spotted that seed from a mile away and asked them about it.


back to the topic..
has anyone ever gotten a wheel knob installed on their kj? I loved those things, but KJ 's wheel is small enough so we don't need that.

Haha, inside is just as clean! I dont make a mess when I eat

I sweep it out alot too. It gets sand and mud in it from offroading. O

I envy you. I can't even reach my center console. I am so short that I have to have my seat scooted WAY up. The console is practically behind the seat. Kind of hard to reach the window controls...

No problem. I work with a girl who's only 2" over midget height.. She drives just like you. The only thing I'd be concerned with is the airbag..

 

[-=JoN=-]

6 foot 6.....and I have bout 3 clicks left on the seat......

 

[ENBr]

6'3 and seat as far back as it will go! I suppose it depends on leg length.

 

[hyde]

On my power seat it is all the way back (the seat itself) but I keep it close to 90 degrees for back support.

 

[timmer]

I'm right handed for everything except for driving and talking on the telephone so it's mostly left hand driving, right arm on the console.

I knew a guy that owned an import auto repair when I had an Austin Healey. He told me a story about a guy that had a high end BMW. He said that guy once wrote the factory and asked why they put the ashtray where it was - because everytime he was in 5th gear he couldn't open the ashtray.

The factory wrote back and said what the *&^% are you doing smoking in 5th gear!

Im 6ft and I keep my seat to where my knees touch the dash. Im a ways from having the seat all the way back. I like being up on the wheel since i drive like a mad man. I keep the back kinda tilted back though so I dont look weird.

Eddo sat in my jeep while we were on an offroad run and asked me why I sat so close to the dash. O

You're screwed if that airbag goes off. I cant stand having my knees touch anything. It took forever to find where my keys wouldnt rub against my leg driving.

When I started driving, I was 5'7"... the seat hasn't moved since. I've tried driving close to the steering wheel.... it just doesn't work out.
