Many people drive alone in their car, but the
passenger seat still takes up as much room
as it does. The passenger seat should fold to
the back, and the driver's seat, along with
steering wheel, console, and pedals should
be able to shift to the center of the car.
That way, one can spread
'em, stretch back
and smile while driving. It would give you
that race car feeling of being in the middle,
but would allow you the comfort, even in a
really small car.. well, depending on how tall
you are anyway.

Is there noone here that suffers from the
discomfort of a cramped car? I know I
wish I could spead 'em. |

If you're going to provide a slide mechanism for all the controls as well as the pedals, why not let it slide all the way to the other side of the vehicle, for those occasions when you visit a country that drives on the other side of the road? |
|
| |
People have special Mail Delivery vehicles with similar positioning of steering wheels to deliver the mail on the other side of the road. |
|
| |
Sure, let it slide to the other side! Whatever
floats your boat. |
|
| |
If you're just visiting a country... would
you bring your vehicle? I guess if you were
borderered to that country, and not on an
island thousands of miles away from
anything. |

I thought this would be a driver's seat that slides sideways during turns to enhance the experience (maybe it could rotate slightly to bank, too.) |
|
| |
This would be good in an instance where you get stopped by the cops. Just slide the controls over to the other side of the car and blame it all on your passenger |
|
| |
My idea was only to have it slide to the
center, so I could dry my balls out after
work. That's it. |

My dad built a car with all the controls on the steering column, and hinged it to flip from side to side, back in 1974. Nice. |
