Have you ever considered buying a midget and having them clean your car? There are some at the local pet store for about $200. Unfortunately, once you get them spaded/neutered, and get their shots it is around $500.

LOL! Next time, I promise!

I was thinking the same thing. I'm 180 and 6 foot.

what I do is get in from the passenger side. I slide the front seat forward and sit in butt first, leaving my feet out. I kinda "fall in" if you will. once I get situated, I lean to the left and arch my back and clean with my right hand. it's awkward as fuck but that's the best way I've found to clean it.

also I've noticed that there's a "halo" of dirt around the 3rd brake light. might have to take that out, clean the window, then put it back in. such a PITA cleaning the back window.

Am I the only one who thinks the size of the back seats is perfect? People don't want to get back there, but they can. I actually think it is comfortable, I'm 5'11" and 195 lbs. I rode for an hour in the back (very weird feeling, but we were on a 6 hour drive with three people and wanted to let them experience the awesomeness). I sat half the time normally, the other half sideways. Either works.

Hey Whaap-

You are actually underweight according to an insurance height/weight chart. I'm sure you probably already know that.

I am 5'8" and probably 185 lbs at the moment.

Was about 170 most of my adult life which was ideal but after re-marrying and having another child the15 lbs just creeped up.

When I was an extremely avid runner over 10 years ago I dropped down to 155 but people thought I looked not my normal self.

Good for you staying slim, just make sure your muscles get enough use to maintain strength. I guess the stats say people close to ideal weight have less incidence of high risk illness.
