The Short People's Manifesto

[Penumbral]

My car is a 1989 Volvo. I'm 6'3 but i fit ok. Small people (oh yeah average Lulz) prolly would find my car big. Its a 2 door.

How's the position of the steering column to you?
That's where I've always gotten hung up.

[Penumbral]

not so bad. my seat is way back so I kinda "ride dirty."

As a 5 foot 3 (If wind is right, big shoes and a well slanted room) dude I gotta say my biggest rant is against Public Urinals. I gotta stand on my toes to pee. At the old Yankee Stadium they used to just have this long drain in the floor where'd you pee. It was like 20 feet long by 3 inches. I still peed on my shoes but with Dignity!

I usually get stabbed in the eye by umbrellas, actually.

My secret to success in overcoming shortitude (though I'm only borderline short) is Japanese cars. Automobiles designed by an entire nation of small people, to scale with their size! Thus, they are scaled perfectly for me, whereas with American cars, I have no choice but to wear giant platforms if I want to be able to floor my clutch without my chest embedded in the steering wheel... Grrr!

I'll wear giant platforms for no reason.  Oh wait, I'm going to a club.

i drive a stupid mustang.
im only 5' 6, the thing sits on the ground, my knees hit the steering column but my arms stretch all the way forward.
no headroom(even for ME), no back seat, no trunk, shitty gas mileage, passenger window doesn't work, all plastic bits have broken off, had to take the main bulb out of the dome light cause it wouldn't turn off, the wipers used to go out suddenly when it was raining, no left mirror, glove box is tied shut cause the locking mechanism is busted...

it's paid off though.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

"Paid off" is a VERY important criterion.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

yup, "paid off" is the only reason i haven't set it on fire.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

My car has started leaking every time it rains, which is all the time, and now every square inch of the interior is wet.

Maria suggests that you get yourself a Roger, because Rogers are good for fixing things, nookie, and staying out from underfoot when not engaged in those two endeavors.

TGRR,
Unsure if he's been insulted or complimented.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

i'm sure it was a compliment for you.
thing is, i could fix these things if i wanted to invest waste the money on it.
but seeing as how it's a ford, it'll all just break again the next week.

oh and Nigel, i understand your dilemma, w/ the window motor being busted theres a 1/2'' crack open all the time. so there's a lovely smell of mildeaux and rot in there all the time.
i've tried to get the thing to stay up all the way but ended up pulling the window right off the door. now that's quality craftsmanship!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Roger: That's a compliment. Trust me.

Squidling: Auuugh. My driver's side window likes to roll down a bit, then not roll back up. I feel your pain.
