My weight varies a lot, but even when at my leanest and in the best shape, I'm fat by medical standards.

So Fat Gang for me.

Samesies. I was wearing 30s at 185 and I was still considered overweight

It's probably because of the 450lb back squat and 360lb bench

Defi have a dad belly now though.

Maybe I have an advantage being short (5'7" on a good day) but I really don't have an issue getting in and out of the 86.

Getting in: right leg in, hand on threshold pad (that's what its for) butt down, left leg in

Getting out: Hand on pad, left leg out (sometimes scrapping door), push up, and pull right leg out.

Mind you I couldn't do it this way wearing a kilt, but I have no issue, even with the door only partially open. Now raining, with an umbrella, that's another story but that's true with about any car.

I've had a number of people get stuck in my Exige.. It didn't happen often as most people steered clear as getting in looked difficult.

My Caterham, roof down, easy peasy but with the roof up a totally different story. And you can only get in using a specific technique otherwise forget it. My car had a removable steering wheel that helped but still a challenging event.
