Aoi-chan's Quickie - 10/12/2008

Gotta admit that driving Aoi-chan isn't easy right now. Even though that the bucket seat has made wonders with fuel consumption and making the drives more fun, it has become some sort of nuisance since it made an inital matter a bit more worse.

i hate to confess but from the start, i found that the view rearwards and the view given by the side mirrors were inadequate. or in oter words, it's hard to see other motorists in normal driving conditions, especially when changing lanes. The fact that my eye-level is now slightly lower and a bit farther back (due to the seating configuration offered by the bucket-seat), now it's like driving in a big box (although Aoi-chan is still small) with only holes to see through... Not good. Can't do nothing about the rear windscreen, but might be getting some 'extended-view' mirrors (you know, that small mirror you attach to the side mirrors) to help me get over this.

Anyhow, gotta report that whoever says that driving in a full bucket seat is less comfortable than a normal one, i have to say that you might be wrong. Drove my dad's car for the Eidul-Adha holiday and without the bucket seat, my whole body was aching throughout the journey. Not enough support. 'Nuff said.
