Re: Great Find! @ Waterfest!

[Jan Folkson <jfolkson@optonline.net>]

Just to add another opinion.  I've been driving the same car for 14 years
now and I sit all the way back even though I'm average height (let it go ;).
After all this time, I've never hit my knuckles into the radio.  So I'm with
Kevin on this one. 

Trying to come up with a correlation between clutch travel and shifter throw
leaves me scratching my head too.  Whomever it was that said it should
elaborate because I'm curious.
