Richard =E2=80=93 I agree on both points! =20

We put DynaMat-style insulation in my BJ-8 and it made a world of =
difference in keeping the cockpit cooler when running, and also when =
starting and stopping the car, where the frame and chassis get =
heat-soaked. It also turned out that I had some [seemingly] small air =
leaks from the engine bay to the cockpit. It=E2=80=99s amazing how much =
heat comes in through small openings, so it was vital that those be =
sealed.
=20
I also went with Miata seats and found they allowed me to adjust to a =
much more comfortable position, together with providing better lumbar =
and thigh support. The fact they also provide whiplash protection in =
event of a crash was a bonus, as were the stereo speakers embedded in =
the headrests. The downside was they are taller than the stock seats, =
so I had to have pockets inserted in the tonneau cover to accommodate =
them. I already had the vinyl, so it only took the local interior shop a =
day and about $100 to do that work.

Perry, you said your long trips are over... Would a different car make a =
difference in your ability to still take cross country trips?
=20
I'm only 70, but did okay in doing 2000 miles in 4 days last week. =
Modern seats made a world of difference to my back and hips!!
