Not too bad! Right?

 

You actually didn't say anything. I know plenty of smaller, skinny guys that have no complaints about the seat.

 

What? Sayin means I've had the same experience as the guy I'm quoting.

Our definitions of skinny are likely very different if I'm complaining about sliding around the seat and you're saying you don't use the bolsters so much as the trans tunnel and the doors to hold you in.

 

Nah..no comparison honestly. The front lights look like it was stung by some bees no chance against s2k's visually.

 

LOL, still love the look of my S! But being 14 years old and 95k miles, its starting to feel old, even with parts replaced. I am sure I can make the ND drive and handle like the S but there is no replacement for how the engine sounds! ... is that a tunnel up ahead?!.... shift down and let her sing!.... just music to my ears!! irreplaceable

 

At my height (5'8") 140-160 lbs is thin and I know people locally who land within that range and fit without much complaint about sliding. I still have to brace against door/trans tunnel on a track/autox, but my hips/upper legs are big enough that I don't have to go to great effort to do so.

 

Thin? 160 @5' 8" is a BMI of 24.3, right at the edge of what is considered overweight. 165 is overweight on BMI.

Not that I put much stock in BMI for evaluating an individual. Its purpose is evaluating populations on average.

There are many reasons a person 5' 8" could be 165 or even a lot more and still be exceptionally fit and healthy (like they are very muscular, etc). But no one would call someone that is overweight on BMI 'skinny'.

 

I'm 6' tall and 140 lbs. That's thin. Jamal Crawford (NBA player) is 6'5" and 170ish pounds. That's thin.

5'8" 140-160 is not thin, that's potentially healthy but not thin.

Yep.

 

Yes, BMI is very flawed system (at 160, I would look emaciated). Many people I know that weigh around 160 are slim in build and aren't carrying an excess of weight and the ones I know towards the 140 end of things are very slender with a minimal of muscle. They are visually thin, hence why I call them skinny.

At 6" and 140, you're borderline under weight according to BMI and I would assume you look painfully thin visually. Jamal Crawford is listed at 185 and I'd bet he weighs a bit more than that on a day to day basis.

 

Thin = thin.

I am thin.

Just because the average American is huge that doesn't mean thin should be conflated with anyone who isn't massive.

I'm exactly the same height/weight as Valentino Rossi. Thin/skinny sure...but healthy.
