When I found it with a couple hundred dollars in it and realized that the gold alone was worth nearly $2K, I sold it, and now just fold and stuff the money in my front pocket along with an expired drivers liscense.

So I agree that in the end a money clip is cheaper, just do not follow my foot steps.

I know when I put the stock seats back in for a road trip, I feel like I could drive for days with a gatorade in my back pocket, forks in my front pocket and nails behind my back lol. Of course they feel that spacious and comfortable if you get in and out of these all the time:


That said, I have a ritual at startup anyways, whether I am driving for 2 minutes or 2 days. This ritual includes putting my phone in the mount, putting my wallet in the door pocket and putting my keys in the centre console, as well as going through my pre-launch checklist. So no worries about things in my pockets

If you carry a wallet, check out Big Skinny wallets. I got one and it is amazingly thin.

Ok so idk if it'll work but I'm going to be getting the RJM clutch and they're gonna fabricate it so the clutch is farther to the left so I don't have to have my leg at an angle, hopefully this will relieve some pain!

I found the 370z seats to be ok. Long trips were meh. But they were far better than my c6z. It's probably a seat adjustment+posture issue.

Make sure your bums higher than your knees. I went to chiropractor and she said your legs should always slope down

No issues for me and I have 2 bad knee's that need to be replaced, I am just too young at the moment. No issues with the 6MT.

You are sitting too far away, and move your wallet.

My legs go numb since the butt support is very small for me, I am 6.1 and 177 lbs and there is almost no leg support, my legs are basically off the seat and all the weight is on my butt. I love my car but hate the seats, they are garbage in my opinion. I am looking at getting Recaro or similar with extended leg support

Can't you adjust the tilt angle on the bottom portion of the seat to get more leg support? That's the first thing I did when I got my car and while driving it home for 4 hours. Get it dialed in so that you have the right amount of thigh support while not making clutching too difficult if you have an MT.
