Biggest problem is remembering not to use the steering wheel as an aid.

Getting out is easier as gravity is on my side.

I am actually surprised that driving my Tudor is as conforatble as it is. My driver seat does have those longer seat legs

And as for shifting, I have bad ham string in my left leg but thus far I've had no pain when shifting so very blessed with that..
