Question How do you guys sit when you drive?

I was just wondering how everyone sits when they drive? do they have the seat slid back the whole way? Reclined.. sitting up right? How much do you have the steering wheel tilted. I personally like to have the seat upright, and i sit either the whole way back (because i have long legs) when i want to relax, or sometimes when i feel a little sportier, i'll move up a bit so i'm closer to the pedals. I like to have the steering wheel tilted but not to the point that i cant see my gauges. but it feels more sporty having it tilted down the whole way. you know, just one of those questions.

i used to sit wayyyy back " gangsta style "....but then my neck started hurting from having to hold it up all the time to see....so now i sit normal and with the steering wheel positioned so that the top of the air bag is lined up with the bottom of the instrument cluster .... you just sight it from your normal driving position.

I used to sit gangsta but one day a few weeks ago my back was hurting so I sat up (normal) and I havent changed my seat since. It's so much more comfortable sitting normal.

I have the seat base all the way back and the back support far enough back so that I have only a slight bend in my elbow when holding the steering wheel on it's side.

same here

yeah i love having the steering wheel tilted down the whole way, the only draw back is you can't see the top of the tack or spedo. Now that i think of it though, i can hear VTEC and redline isn't far off from that, but it is fun to drive like that.

I sit far back and tilted a little, cuz im a big guy. I hate when people sit so far back the driver could look at you from behind the rear window...lol.

i usually sit with the seat settings all the way back but the tilt is a comfortable amount of tilt... not gangsta, just so i can relax when im driving... thats what i usually have preset in memory 1... memory 2 is just my race mode where its more straight and seats are closer to the pedals with the steering tilted up a tad more than in cruisin mode

i have a friend who drives the gansta way ... seats all the way back and tilted as much as that **** goes... if ure driving by, its like the car is driving itself... thats a little too much for my taste if others cant see if someone is driving the car or not

Any position is cool except lay back while leaning towards the center. They look like their right arm is born one-foot shorter than their left.
