Can tall people drive this car?

I have a friend, he's only 6'4, but he can't even sit down in my car, his legs are too long. We were planning a quick roadtrip, but if he can't drive, I dunno, lol.
Is there a solution for this, short of taking off the seat and having him sit on the storage bin?
Thank god I'm only 5'7!

There are currently two other threads running this topic today. When it rains, it pours right?

Anyway, the other two threads have some good info. Might want to check them out.

AJC-13B is something like 6'4" and well over 300 pounds and he fit fine. Well enough to run 10sec 1/4 miles anyway.

Tell him to drive.

Passenger side has much less interior room than the driver's side.
