MOG seats

10/12/2008

 
When a person sees the Westfield with its unpadded carbon fiber seats, they
usually make a remark about driving comfort – or more specifically, the lack
thereof.  My response that we’ve done over 600 miles in a day in the car and 4,000 miles in just 2 weeks without complaint, is typically met with skepticism or shock.However, even I was surprised to recently discover that the seats are actually therapeutic.  Yes, that’s right, they make you feel better!  I have a recently diagnosed degenerative back issue that hosed my summer and still has me in physical therapy for a few more weeks.  Now that my back is finally on the road to recovery, I’ve discovered that unlike the seats in the 993 and 951 which still result in increased pain if I sit in them for more than 5 minutes, the Mogs actually make me feel better!  Further, because there is no door opening to navigate in the Westfield, getting out of the car doesn’t cause further discomfort.  Now if I could just convince my doctor to write a prescription for the car, so I can score a tax break…
