So, my uncle finally bought his dream vehicle. A Mini Cooper. Brand new.

First thing he did: Took out the driver's seat.

Because he stands 7'2", he sits in the back seat to drive, while his wife sits in the proper passenger seat. Very comical; I wish I'd taken a picture, but my camera's batteries were dead.

Anybody else know of others who do this sort of thing to their vehicles?

I don't know of anyone who does that sort of thing to their cars. But I do know big men who insist that they _must_ drive huge SUVs because of their size. Next time I hear someone say that, I'll tell them to do what your uncle did.
