Tall people....cars...and homes...one man's POV

Tall people...I love 'em...I have to because I'm one, my wife is one, and our 21 month old son is almost 3 feet tall!
So when it comes to buying a car or buying a home, I am learning that tall people can have "cramping" issues with both...and the only medicine = cash, money, cheddar, kwanza.
Firstly, the topic of cars...
Ever since hitting 6'7" as an 11th grader, I had major cramping getting into cars. I owned a 1966 Ford Mustang that had the best legroom, but I would never know if the car would travel 10 feet or 10 miles without breaking down. Nothing is more awkward than seeing a giraffe try to bend down to change a spark plug. The visual of giant trying to fix a matchbox car comes to mind.
Trying to move from an unreliable car to a RELIABLE car only compounded my cramping problems. I needed reliability driving to and from Spokane, so I bought a Suzuki Swift 4-door (I know you're thinking "that's totally awesome Jason, you define collegiate style!"). The Suzuki could hit 75 miles an hour downhill, while I rocked back-and-forth in the drivers seat...I was convinced THAT would make the car go faster without blowing up. Once again...tall guy, tiny car, weighing the needs of reliability vs. cramped legs. No cheddar, no bigger AND reliable car. The trade-off continues...
Secondly, the topic of houses...
Canyon and I LOVE mid-century modern homes in Portland. That style of home has been THE priority on our list as we look for a larger space to expand our family. Just when I thought my cramping issue was isolated to cars...I walked in the basement of these mid-century homes. I discovered where Hobbits live! (I love "hobbitses"). There wasn't a door, or ceiling, that I could avoid slamming my already jagged skull into. Once again, my cramping started to hurt again.
Decision...go with a cramped yet affordable mid-century home....OR have reliability of a NEW home, NO cramping anymore....for a LOT more cash-eesh.
The decision is still in the works...so the cramping balance remains. Still searching for the medicine.
