Default Tallest IS Driver

So i found someone to takeover/buyout my IS250 lease so i can get a C6 Vette , he is looking at the car today before we start the 6 week process of doing a lease transfer...

This guy is 6'7" though!

He has had a 350z and various BMW's... but I'm 6'1"-ish and cant imagine being 6" taller...

So is anyone near that tall and (comfortably) drives around in an IS?? I got a feeling he isnt going to fit... haha

Wow, 6'7 is pretty tall. There's probably no room in the backseat anymore.


I'm the fatest IS driver btw.
LOL Rashoodz!

Question

thanks for everyones responses. Hopefully it all works out, and I'll be flying around Houston (okay, maybe sitting in traffic) in a Corvette soon.

Lexus Financial said it takes 6 weeks to 2 months. Is there a way to expedite the process? I understood it as:

1: Call LFS to obtain credit paperwork for new person
2. Send it in with $200 fee
3. Upon approval they send out car paperwork
4. Send that in

6'5" here and no problem at all. Only tight when I have someone sit behind me, which is very rare.
