When you drive, to chill or to lean?
I see a lot of gangstarr's chilling like way far back in there seat when they drive, and people like myself who like to lean up really close to the wheel (for those big left turns).
So I was just wondering, what kind of driver are you?

this has allowed my car to car to stay healthy....(it has also been a serious point of lecture for those that have learned to drive in my car .....)

Uhm, neither. Don't wanna be too far back so that I can't reach the steering wheel/pedals nor too close so that my arms are bent at a stupid angle (and if the air bag came out during an accident, sitting so close would probably do more harm than good!) I sit like a normal person, in the normal sitting position with hands at the right position... but I do notice that I sorta lean to the right and rest a bit on the center console.

whats pathetic is those losers that sit in their car SUPER LOw, u could only see the chin and up part of the head through the window.. i dont get it.. they look stupid and its dangerous.. i dont think they could see much..
also the losers that sit and lean towards the middle of the car.. i guess they like to drive from the middle of the car..

i dunno
in a civic the shifter is so far up that its kinda hard to reach the shifter when your seat is set back and down
so i just have my seat set where my knees would just start to bend and my back down abit and my wheel down all the way
comfy for me

Shoot me I usually drive auto (
) so im just used to using one hand on the wheel, atleast my seat isnt as far back as it can go, as long as i know i can reach the pedals at a comfortable position im happy

I like to put my left hand out the window, right hand at 11 o'clock, seat as far back as it goes, tilted back to about 1 notch from fully reclined, Coors light between my legs, while rolling a spliff. I also hang a bandana from my rear view mirror and my tint is actually just spray painted glass... 
Is there any other way to roll? LOL
j/k.. 9/3 upright, seat so I can lock myself in using the dead pedal and elbows at 90 degrees... looking far far ahead, planning my every move. Every driving school I've ever taken has made key points about the driving position, and even more importantly where to look when driving. Look where you wanna go, let your periferal vision take care of the rest.

I am 6'-1" and my upper body is longer which means, my body is not 7:1 propotion hence, I can't sit up straight in those stock seats. I mean I want to, which does my back good because I have a bad back but when I do, my head is literally touching the ceiling.
So I have to lean back a little. My neck and back are sometimes in such painful situation that I want to toss my seat and just go buy a ******* racing seat and solve the problem...
