I saw the one at Otto's last weekend. Looked pretty nice, but IMO I would agree that it is a tad too big/tall. The driver/passenger seats were freaky, too, IMO. They kind of came around you, like kind of racing-seat like, but to me, not as nicely done. It's hard to describe, but I know it would weird me out..kind of feel like the seats are closing in on you or something.

What, your post makes absolutely no sense. Seats are supposed to wrap around you. Wanna buy a clue for the win? The only thing wrong with that car is it doesn't have the big block hemi in it.

Thank you ever so much for educating me on seats, as i obviously have no f*ing clue about them. Now I can sleep soundly tonight, knowing all about these things called seats, thank you! No. I don't want to buy a clue. But I will buy you some manners, as you seem to be short on them. You do not understand what I said, and, as previously STATED, it is hard to explain what I am talking about. So I do not expect you to understand my PERSONAL viewpoint, nor do I care. But thank you for the e-thugging. Props.



Anyway, I apologize for not taking pics; I didn't bring my camera out that night. If I see it next weekend again, I'll try and take pics.

This site has a few of these guys still lurking about, waiting to pounce on any and everything they have no business commenting on. KBWs are what I call them. "Key Board Warriors". I'm sure this post will bring a few of these KBWs out.

Lol. Yeah. I don't understand why anyone has to cut someone down or talk negatively about anyone else, especially when over something as minuscule as SEATS! And I apologize for the rebuttal, however, I do not take kindly to bullying of any sort!

And yeah..i've noticed a few KBW/E-thugs on here. I don't get it. Flaming someone doesn't make you any cooler, or make your pecker bigger, nor make your car faster, or w/e these people are going for!!

You just burst a lot of guys hopes and dreams. Some prolly keep a ruler next to their computer just to see if it grows. Besides, we all know the best way to make your car faster is DECALS DECALS DECALS.

EDIT: This guy's pretty big on the "buying a clue" phrase said the same thing in the Run What you Brung thread.

Lol. Yeah..it's like 50 hp per decal, right?

Well i'll give him props on the clue purchasing...the phrase is catchy! .

Anyhoo..I don't want to be an E-thug, too, so I'll stop there.
