Questions...

Every time I get my car worked on, when I pick it up, the seat is ALL THE WAY back. Why? I am 6 feet tall, so I know that every car mechanic is not taller than me.

they're working on the crap under the dash above the pedals, where the diagnostic connector is, and likely other stuff, like the/a fuse panel. Plus, since it's all the way back, you can certainly get in. If it were anywhere else, there's a chance, however small, that you might not be able to get in.

Sort of. They don't actually die-you can re-animate them by adding water.

Messing about with the seat makes you THINK they've done something.

Personally, I hate it when the short, thin mechanic works on my car. I never think to check the seat setting before I try to get in. It can be quite comical.

They are having unprotected sex with prostitutes in your car.

Will this cause the car to become a vehicle for the transmission of STD's?

Possibly, but it definitely passed its emissions test.

Last time I had my Honda detailed, the seat was under the steering wheel. And I'd already left the tip. My belly didn't fit.

My next door neighbor is 6' 4" tall. He borrowed Popdigr's Grand Cherokee once, and I was fortunate enought to see him try to get in it. It was laugh out loud funny. I'm 5' 9" and have to put the seat all the way back, and recline the seat back to the first position from all the way up. Not a vehicle for tallies (you know, the opposite of shorties).
