No, I’m serious, but my non-sense of humor indeed appreciates that my meme maps back to a Randy Newman song I forgot about. I meant that if MixedNuts is a small person, most any car will fit him, but if he’s larger, a poorly designed hatchback might be uncomfortable for long periods of time.
I’m 5′11″ and don’t fit properly in my small mid-size car. With the seat all the way back and the steering wheel lowered a lot, the speedometer is obstructed. I spent about 4 hours fiddling with the tilt and height controls on a late night drive back to San Francisco once and really just couldn’t get something that was ergonomically perfect.
Basically ergonomics is sublimely important but most people don’t attention to it. I’m currently planning a post on ergonomics.
It’s a good point though, I definitely intend to make a list of things that I need to check in any car inspection because if I miss them they will drive me crazy.
Is this a Randy Newman joke?

Yes, sorry. :)
