Funny story about that. The other night my wife and I were going out to a nice dinner at a restaurant that has a dress code, so I get in a nice gray suit and she puts on a VERY little black dress and a tall pair of heels. Just kidding, and knowing she actually did like driving the manual trans, I said "why don't you drive?". To my surprise she said ok, so I stood in the garage wondering how she'd manage to remain "ladylike" while getting behind the wheel. She stood back to the car, planted in the seat and swung her legs in, no problem at all. Fun watching that, maybe that's a good way for someone maybe not as flexible as they used to be.

I will say it was well worth watching, each and every time.

[QUOTE=DT;1567392759]I sprint across the yard [naked] and jump in with both feet first. I also wear a helmet and lube my whole body with Vaseline.
YMMV.
I would fly down to witness that if that is your picture in your signature

Like other posters. Program the memory exit seat setting to go all the way up as high as it will go. When you turn off the car and open the door it will engage.
Going in, put arss in seat sideways then swing legs in.
On exit: Do a one armed push up with the left on the door sill and roll out.

Although I have no special needs, do any cars have the swivel seats like the late 50's Chrysler products?
