Default Any way to move steering wheel closer? (car has no telescoper)

I would really like to have the steering wheel a couple inches closer to my chest. However, my car does not have telescoping wheel option.

Is there any way to move wheel closer?

thanks

Move the seat forward! I hate to be a smart azz, but seems to be the logical thing to do!

I've got long legs, so I need the seat back just about all the way.

But then my arms are almost straight out..............

Anyone else? Any tricks?

I'm 6'4" tall and so glad my '99 coupe has the telescopic feature. Had the same problem you are having with my Camaros - had to sit so far back due to my long legs, that my arms were straight out to reach the wheel. You pretty much are stuck with finding some kind of seat adjustment.

Yeah, you could install one from a wreck.
