It's getting to the point where they've forgotten a guy needs to sit inside, too, though. I realize I'm big, but I'm not even fat or anything. A fat big guy would be hooped.
My size is above average, but nobody is craning their neck to get a look at "the freak" or anything. I'm just an average tall guy if that makes sense. There should be enough room in a 3-series for my shoulder width. The B-pillar in that car encroaches on where my shoulder should be. Wtf?
I guess they've crunched the numbers and don't mind writing off whatever height percentile I'm in. Can't really blame them, but it sure has limited my options.
