It was the 1st gen. Well it was the worst car I've been in in recent memory, my brother and I are 6'2" or maybe 6'1". I couldn't even fit in the back seat, my brother couldn't fit in the front.

I had to sit sideways, seat belt on my sternum, the entire time and have my legs spaced out in order to fit in the car.

Why in god's name where these things made? We'll they are CHEAP to maintain even with all OEM parts and are very easy to work on so I'll give it that.

I'm wondering if I truly have begun to turn into a giant...

(How did I botch the title? )
