    Cool Aloha!

    We've been going to Hawaii the past couple of years in early November. Looks like we are going again this year. Can't take the burb. Last year we went with some friends one of which was 7'4" We were going to rent a crown vic, but decided on the Expedition for the headroom.

    Well, everyone their own person with their own genetics. Just so people go way off the chart in terms of what's typical.

    I'm 6'4" and I have a cousin that's 6'9" or so. I get to the point where I can't fit into 1/2 the cars made. My son is pretty much off the growth charts, he'll be in that upper range too.

    Yeah, my friend's wife is off the scale too. She's taller than me and I'm 6'2". When you are in that height range things just don't fit. We flew ATA (a terrible airline) and the seats were horrible! No hip room and impossible leg room.
