i'm tall and think civics [without moon roofs] were made just for me
they fit so well. chicks have longer legs so y'all are screwed. the
only mod you could make to suit is to shift the steering wheel back, but
i'd be very reluctant to do that unless it was done to the very highest
[expensive] standards. maybe try another vehicle with a more upright
position like a minivan?
