>>28522248 (OP)At 5'7" and 140lbs I wouldn't have liked it but I would fit. Sorta. The 50lbs I've added in the intervening 40+ years would make it harder and I'd like it even less.
A friend was gifted a pic related for graduation and he was 6' b and I remember riding with him on trips down to the Port Mansfield Cut and up to Big Bend NP and his knees are up next to the steering wheel. Nobody would put up with that shit if they were paying for it. Same with OP's obsession that everybody quit buying as soon as they could.
