I'm Finally One of You

I must be a freak or something, but I can practically touch my skull to the headliner when I sit up straight in a coupe with the sunroof. And yes, that's with the seat fully lowered, tilted back, slid most of the way back, and the back reclined a decent amount... Maybe I'll rename myself circus freak...

Oh yea, another thing is I'm glad the G has pedal room for my clown feet. I've driven cars before where i practically don't have the option of NOT heel-toeing!

From the Bay Area (Nor Cal) originally, but in school in Los Angeles. I'll post pics in a few weeks when I get my camera back from the gf.
Modding will be limited due to lack of funds, and I'm working on finishing up a few things with my bike before I even consider the car. Luckily, though, I'm very methodical and research-oriented, and deathly afraid of buyer's remorse. Thanks for the warm wishes, now I think I'm going to go drool over my car a bit before I do my homework.
To all the pessimists out there, the car was not bought for me, but BY me. Same with the bike. And the previous car that got sideswiped, hence me buying the G. All expenses also paid by yours truly. Thus, modding will not begin right away....

Speaking of break in, what's your preferred method? I'm half tempted to follow dealer recommendations, but kinda wanna run it hard (only when fully warm). I did this on my bike because it seats the rings better, but I'm not sure if it would have the same effect in the car.
Thoughts?
