You must be a young whipper snapper. If I tried a knee bend now they'd have to call 911 to get me back up.

Yep, young whipper snapper in his 70's. Just noticing knee pain for the first time in my life. it's my left knee only. I blame too many years of driving stick.

That is how I got in/out of the C5s I have owned. No leg or knee pain and saved some wear and tear on the seat bolsters.

I can totally understand because I had such cases very often. I understand that this is because I am already old, but I know a lot of people of the same age who do not have such problems. Anyway, it's good that I found a solution to get rid of these pains. I started taking SA Kratom which saves me a lot. I found out about this from a friend who is a doctor and I was very happy to see that it really helps me. I will owe him a lot because if he didn't help me, I would still have those unbearable pains.

So this is gonna make me sound old. I am 55, average height and weight and average fitness. I have had my C5 Z06 for two weeks tomorrow. I've noticed knee pain in my right knee. Kinda like mild tennis elbow. I fear it's how I'm getting in and out of my car. Any suggestions how I can avoid this? Anyone else experience this? Not going to stop driving my dream car, but would be nice to do so without pain. Thanks a bunch, ML
I do as the others have suggested, but I've found one additional thing that helps me. If your car has the memory function, it can help with getting out of your car, too. I set memory #3 as my preferred driving position, and when I get ready to exit, the easy entry/exit function does its thing, and when everything stops moving, I push memory 1, which I have programmed to lift AND tilt the seat as high as possible. I hope this helps.......
