You might try this inexpensive, easy, seat cushion (pictured in my old MX-5).

Cut a piece of 5/8" closed cell foam (the kind packpackers use to sleep on) to fit the botton center of the seat (black pillow case cover is optional). Cut it a little "long" which will help support your legs. The foam will cushion your tail bone and give you just enough "lift" to bring your butt a bit above the side bolsters.

This has worked for me for over 90,000 miles, in bolstered seats .... ;)

she's great for DD (i deliver pizzas in her, so i'm driving for 4-8 hours daily), it's just when i'm sitting in the seat for extended amounts of time (3+ hours) that it starts getting bad. Next road trip i take, i've got some travel pillows that i'm gonna be putting on the seat

Check out the nor-cal drive thread. We often get up early on a Saturday morning to beat the cyclists and take off on a drive for a few hours. There are definitely some roads around here that you're going to like.

I certainly will! Unfortunately, the car probably won't arrive until mid to late September. But when she does get there, I will certainly hook up with you guys for some runs.
