So my wife takes a photo of me standing beside my Monza wagon at the local cruise.........jeez....after looking at this photo maybe I'm just to big for the car??

I was always wondering why people looked at me funny as I got out of the Monza..

Hey its like have a covered Go-Kart!! :lol:

I don't think they are staring at you. They are probably staring at your Monza. I mean, damn, it just looks so "right"!
It has gorgeous paint and those Rally wheels look right at home. I hope to see it in person sometime, perhaps next year.
You're only what, 5'10" - 6' ? And you are right about the covered go-kart thing.

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

I'm 6'4", so I'm sure I look goofy getting in there. But I've modified the seat, so I don't look super tall inside at least. My other vehicle is an S10 blazer, so that's not too big either!!! But at least with the Astre, I can fire it up and all doubts go away! :lol:

Are you too big for your car? Ummm, in a word, YES. However, if you are comfortable in it don't let it bother you. :lol:

I'm very comfortable in it...... :lol:

Actually it is quite roomy for a small car!

That car is as nice in person as it looks here. Russ, what crawled on your face and died? j/k, it's just a different look, that your imminent retirement look?

I'm 6'4" and 266 lbs, so I'm not to far from you, I can't fit in a 2001 monte carlo but the monzas fit just fine. There a lot of tall guys in this club go figure! Big guy in a little car. Hey I can roll down the passenger side window without to much strain, can flip the back seat while sitting in the front I think these cars are a perfect fit. I'd grow a beard till I'd retire too, but I'd be tripping over it and slaming it in the car doors all the time. So just deer hunting scruff for now

Im 5'5" an feel the same way about these cars they have more room than my 84 z28 has in the back seats as well.

You sure don't look 305. I would have guessed 50 lbs lighter.

I'm 5'9" and 175. With roll cage in there, I feel like it's the smallest car I've ever been in. I can't imagine what it feels like for you.
