There’s no way anyone will press it by accident!
Not enough context, but it’s isn’t a good driving position.
I’m aware, but I’m very tall and the seat does not go any lower or back far enough for me.
Just do like that guy in Police Academy
How are vocal sound effects going to help?
Hey, I feel your pain. Tall guys need bigger cars. I don’t know what circumstances led to you being stuck in a car that doesn’t fit you but I’ve been there too. I hope you find yourself in something more suitable in the near future. I was able to finally get into a vehicle I’m comfortable in a few years ago and it’s life changing. I’m driving an Expedition.
Thanks, that’s nice of you to say! This one is fortunately not mine, it belongs to someone in my family and I just drive it occasionally. In my own car the seat goes so far back that I can barely touch the pedals even with outstretched legs. And there are no annoying buttons to be pressed by accident :D
Thanks! I didn’t knew it’s an OC.
I get you. My biggest issue in pretty much any car I’ve driven so far has been just getting my knees ubder the damn wheel. I almost have to do acrobatics to get my right leg into the car.
Yeah you shouldn’t have knees that close to the dash, unless you are 7ft and the seat can’t go back further.
I’m 6’7 lol
Where’d you get this footage of me??
6’17" inches here. The struggle is real.
Um… That’s 7 foot 5 right?
6m and 17cm obviously.
6’6 here I feel the pain.
But have you tried the Citroen BX? I had to put on the blinkers to get in, and leave them on while driving…
There’s no way you just mentioned the Citroen BX. Crazy coincidence. I’ve actually been looking to buy one for a couple of months (the early model with the cool instrument panel) but I’ve never actually sat in one. And I’m just now finding out that it’s too small??
I can be wrong, it was a very long time ago like in -93 or -94 but if I were you, I sure wouldn’t buy one without trying it out first!
It had the craziest blinker stick, like really fat with lots of dials and buttons. You also sat really close to the ground IIRC. Maybe it was the more modern version, the cool steering wheel one doesn’t seem to even have a blinker stick?
Yeah, the earlier ones have a toggle switch on the side of the dash that apparently takes a bit to get used to. The non-adjustable steering wheel is pretty huge in all the models, so that will most likely be the limiting factor. But you’re right, I should probably find one to try sitting in before I intensify my search. Thanks for the heads up!
Ha ha good luck!
You’re either
- far too tall for that car,
- the car is a heavily modified Peel P50,
- or you’re one of those (short-sighted?) grannies that sits within licking range of the windscreen (marshmallow, with hints of orange, for the curious).
the car is a heavily modified Peel P50,
Shit, you got me.
Glad you came clean. The weight you’ve been carrying will lift from your shoulders soon.
You need a cyber truck like everyone else. They’re selling cheap now for some reason.
The weight of having to pick the P50 up when it inevitably capsizes?
Maybe! If you’ve never experienced a Reliant Robin, now’s your time. They’re calling you. Can you hear them? Ooooink oooooiiiinnnnk!

It’s the natural evolution of the P5. https://youtu.be/dJfSS0ZXYdo
I am familiar with the venerable plastic pig… never been inside one though, for better or worse
For glory!
That 3hp can be a handful, right?

A general “fuck you and the horse you rode in on” goes out to all car designers, who hide buttons beneath the wheel at all.
My car has a heated steering wheel, but the button is between the wheel and the door, in the second row on the left. Guess what I can’t see when I’m driving. Lane assist? Same. And it’s not like missing the button is inconsequential either, one button on that row is opening the charging port. Probably wouldn’t open while doing 90km/h, but I’d not finding out in the first place.
Meanwhile the center console has multiple blank place holders where physical buttons could be installed, and my car has all the options is fully optioned. Just move the buttons, that you could want to use while driving, so they are actually visible.

I hate this trend so much. Even modern “luxury” vehicles have these blank spaces like they are some economy car from the 90s. God forbid they’d have to spend a few bucks extra for panels that match the actual options.
Be thankful you have a button and don’t need to navigate through 3 levels of touchscreen menus to get to the option.
My car’s SOS button is about half an inch from the passengers sun visor. If you try to slide it to the left to block sun towards the middle, it’ll hit the button every time.
I used to be afraid of the light buttons on the top, because there was some sos button next to it and I couldn’t really tell what the signs meant so I always thought I would hit the sos
EFI Boot Partition?
Name and shame. What vehicle is this?
It’s a 2012 Lexus IS 250 C
Airbag will likely severely damage you at the distance that puts your face at among other potential reproductive issues.
is that like traction control?
Yeah, it’s the electronic stability control.
Damn, here i thought my beetle had a button that would allow me to find out what my passenger was thinking
My tacoms 4wd knob is directly next to the ac knob. It’s crazy stupid
