Hi everyone,
I sat sideways in the front passenger seat ( with feet elevated), for the first time in 9 years. Felt great, all ok as of tonight. Have not picked a new vehicle yet, but trying a few more. Likely a Toyota.

Good for you, Gail. Just ignore anyone who looks at you like you are crazy and do what you have to do to be comfy.

Ha ha ha. My hubby is used to truckers looking down from their cabs wondering whether he is driving a d.b. to the dump. I push the passenger seat WAAAYYY back, put my feet up on the dash, and lie basically flat as the car floor. I do this on either my back or tummy. It sucks having no view but having no pain while travelling is well worth it.
P.S. We have a van, a Honda Odyssey, with lots of room for fully reclined seats. Don't know if you can do this in a car.

Been there, ladies! It's great fun, feet up on the dash, in a skirt with no underwear..... Or starting the trip with underwear, and having to take it off while on the road - and there's always a darned Semi in the next lane during these acrobatics!
We have a Ford Windstar, and I find the seat does not recline anywhere near enough. I use the air cushion from my wheelchair which is about 6 inches high, and that has the effect of flattening out my position and makes me a little higher to look out the window.
