For some reason I would have thought that came up on the test drive. You know so your wife doesn’t YouTube it or something.

That was a big factor in picking the Jaguar XK8 ragtop as my latest cruiser, long doors- 6'2"- 265 with herniated L3-L4 and L4-L5 makes it tough to get in and out. 1st lesson- going in, body/head first, legs last. Out, legs first, then head n body. Trust me  :P

He'd probably still have good luck picking up some sweet little gold-digger.

Why I'll never have a race car with a "funny car" cage in it.  I can get in, but can't get out.

Wifey has a 66 Vette (yes, I'm the unpaid mechanic). We like to say that you fall-in and climb out. We often wonder how long it will be until we can no longer get in or out.

Worth it!
Although a shoe change will help get the feet out first.
Way back I got to drive a Pantera, my size 12’s had me driving in my socks,still worth it!

One other thing: laid way back seat position may be troublesome after a long drive.

Unlike most sedans, those swoopy looking really fast cars often have the driver literally laid back in what I'll call an unusual position. So it's not just getting in and out but how your back feels after that drive.
