Short Dudes

Vicster · 10-15-2012, 07:57 PM

Short dudes, question, does the seat belt in your Z ride up and around your neck asking to be pushed to the side like it does me?

I'm about 5'7" and this happens frequently. Not unbearable, just slightly annoying. Any tips? I tried looking in the manual to understand how the arm that holds the belt works, but it looks like it is just to hold it out so it is easier to reach.

Thanks!

You can raise the seat with the knobs on the side of the seat?

^ This.

I'm 5'8-5'9 and the seat belt has never bothered me. I think you just need to adjust your seat properly.

...and since when is 5'7 short? Do you work in the WNBA?

Lol!!! 5'7" ain't exactly tall (average for men is 5'10"), but then again I'm 6'3"...

OP, I think you just need to adjust your seat height

It's not particularly short (also 5'7" here), but it depends who you're around too.

When I was traveling through Europe over the summer, I passed through Amsterdam. Good god -- nearly everyone was of Brobdingnagian stature

Even most of the women were over 6' tall

I felt like a hobbit among ents

LOL!

Cool, I will try and raise the seat a little more than I already have.

I know a few people shorter than me, but I always have considered myself short. I could care less though. You don't need to be tall to make a living in IT! :P

Thanks for the input everyone!

Ha! Joke's on you, the Z was designed for us little guys, lol.

TreeSemdyZee · 10-15-2012, 10:57 PM

5' 6' here. No problems here, but I gots stubby legs.
My dad was 5' 10" and I was as tall as he was when seated.

nmjaxx9 · 10-15-2012, 10:59 PM

im 6'4 and the Z actually has a lot more room then I thought, more leg room then my altima. Now my thunderbird was a another story

FYI - the seatbelt mount on the wall is also adjustable... push it down to get it out of your face.

^You felt like a hobbit because you were faded (as one should be there)

That's because they all have high heels on over there!

Don't feel bad man. Just be careful don't get stepped by the women over there.

I am 5'8" and never had anybody called me short. 5'7" is not "short dudes". Lol
