Those of you That were at the GTG in Florida last fall know BJ is 5'2" tall. She was driving yesterday and is too short to push the throttle to the floor. We have tried all sorts of seat positions, wheel positions etc. Do newer seats have more flexibility in position? Anyone had this problem any help would be much appreciated
Wayne & BJ

Maybe you could make something to fit over the pedal that would be thick enough to work for her?

Or some sort of hand throttle as used by some physically handicapped drivers.

I think the best answer is some type of blocks you could snap onto the pedal.

I talked to two "little people" (about 3'6") who lived in or town about how they were able to drive the large car they owned (older 4dr Cad.).
He showed me the custom blocks made for him which he called pedal extenders.

Depending on how they were installed, Wayne may have to get used to driving with the seat way back. Smiler
