Lose some weight?

I'm 6'7 250 and I fit very comfortably in my old '00 Z28.

6'2" 165lb. My knees hate me because of these cars. My camaro is lower than my firebird and it hurts more getting in and out of it.

6' and 190... if you have problems with getting in or out your car, or fitting, you are either:
to old, to fat, or too lazy!!! also All of the above. haha

Dang, in my old hardtop with a power seat track, my hair was hitting the roof! I'm at 6'4" 260. With t-tops and a manual seat track, I have quite a bit of head room..
