Man, you guys are really cold. I'm sure many of you who posted are far from perfect yourself. This guy has the guts to ask an honest, and potentially embarrassing, question and is comfortable enough to list his height & weight, and almost everyone ignores his question, and tears into him for his weight.

That's pretty shi##y, if you ask me.

I hate to say this. 4'9 weight a whooping 310 LBS.??? Damn, you really need to go on a diet. I hate to rude, but if you really want to enjoy a sportscar, you'll have to do something with your weight. I'm sorry.

Although I did view his other 3 threads and they do look suspect but that is only after one of you pointed that out. The vette seats aren't exactly the widest or most accomodating so this could be a legitimate issue. Despite warnings from meangreen the abuse continued, and I lost 10 points for saying FP in a thread :bs :rolleyes:

DISCLAIMER: I am assuming that this thread is a joke

Here are some options for you:

-Find a REALLY big Shoehorn (surf-board size)

-Use large quantities of Crisco (NO, not to eat!)

-remove the seat and install an airbed

-create a vacuum inside the car to suck you in

-Use a climing harness to suspend yourself from the A-pillar

-develop a mag-lev seat

-Or, and we think this is the best option, EAT LESS FOOD!
