Corvette Question
Did a search on this and had no luck- what do you do when...
you tell your wife you are going to get her a really nice corvette.
For her birthday, and our anniversary.
She is soooooooo excited!
You are out of the country so you communicate with the seller,
Great deal, insurance and bank are cool with it.
send the wifey over to put a deposit on the car.........
and she is to short to reach the pedals
We still get to buy the car

You could always break her legs and then attach metal pipes inside to extend them? I have seen them do that to"'Little People" on a TV show one time.

I would say the seat is leaning back too far and you could install the shims if 69-77. The tracks may be frozen in the rear position. Five foot girls can drive them. How short is she? Put a pillow behind her back. Thease cars are harder for big and tall men to fit in and drive than small women. This is a seat problem like worn out foam and broken track or seat.

My wife is 4' 7 1/2".... Can't drive anything of mine... 
She wants me to move the seat tracks forward on the vette so she can reach... Although I could probably figure it out... I told her it absolutely can't be done... It makes me real sad that she does not have the opportunity to wreck the darn thing.... 
(bad me... bad me!!!)
