        Empathy is welling up within me.  I'm 6'2" and 220lbs and I'm
getting my seat cut down for more headroom.  Apparently the cutting is not
too bad, but lining everything up so that the seat will still slide is.  I
also had the large thigh problem, but switching to a 13.8" Momo Monte Carlo
solved most of that.  I was having a real interesting time getting out of
the car and my spread leg driving style was annoying the hell out of me.
But now I don't have any problems.
