keeping to the thread, recently got an MRI (the big round noisy machine) and while doing nothing except exhaling and holding my breath, thought if a heavy hitter (you know the pulled pork with fried cheese 400lb-er) ever got "stuck" in it. As small as it feels (some folks get claustrophobic in it) tech said it'll take a 600 pounder!! Always too amazed when I see someone who should have bought two seats waddling down the aisle and is able to wedge themselves in, so I guess size can be deceiving and even they could fit in the E.

I'm not worried about my butt but at 7'4", though I had great visibility in the prototype in Chicago 2 years ago, my knees wouldn't clear the dash (I think on the right side). It's been a while since I've seen an Elio. I was told that they have a ratcheting up/down seat like some other cars have, and they said they extended the seat track way back, like a Chevy Cruze, so I would be interested to see if I can drive the current car without needing to make modifications. Or if I *can* make modifications. I really would be happy if I could drive the stock car and tell Shaq he could drive this instead of the Caddy he advertises but I know can't drive.

The information I offered was good when it was posted in Dec. 2014.
A lot has changed since then.
Find out what cars have Hyundai DYMOS seats (Hyundai Cars maybe) and try one out.
Here is a Hyundai DYMOS U Tube AD.
