This made me chuckle. I have the opposite problem. At 5' 41/2" and 160lbs, plus being over 70, with a bad hip to boot, I'd like to shorten my steering column 2" so I can get to drive with my arms straighter. I feel like I'm hugging the steering wheel!! I pondered moving the pedals forward 2" when I added the power booster and also modded the clutch pedal, but that's damn near impossible and impractical. On top of that, if I were to ever build a resto-mod, I'd move the door mirrors forward a couple of inches as well, I always fell like these car were designed and built by some 6 footer!! I have to tilt my head just to see into the drivers side mirror. Add to this, I need to run the seat all the way back just so I can get in and out. Sucks getting old and far less flexible............. and I have been fit all my life. Maybe it'll be better after I get the hip replacement......... I hope!!

EDIT: re; moving the pedals forward............ and please, nobody say "add blocks to them like on a kids bicycle" Heard that joke before!!
