Actually, let's start over....

Would it help to mix in some flexibility exercises into your routine? When I started doing martial arts it made a huge difference in general mobility and flexibility.

Sounds like the real issue is not so much your size, but that you also are carrying way too much fat. Need more cardio lol. Flexibility work would probably help a lot too.

[Duck Vader]

I am actually quite flexible everywhere but my shoulders.

Working on losing fat and have added in a ton of cardio, keep tracking of calories, etc. But also need to focus on keeping strength as high as possible and add more muscle mass while cutting fat. Have a strongman competition coming August 10.

The Volt is the only car I have ever had this issue with. Even when I was bigger than I am now I didn't have issues with other cars. Just something about the way it is designed and how I have to get in/out.

I thought you had issues fitting in the Jeep?

Modified it.

Still hit my head on the roof, but I now have plenty of leg room.

[ChargerX3]

Ok, so the Jeep is comfortable to daily then?

[Duck Vader]

Comfortable yes. Reliable? Mpg?

I was thinking more like a Camry or Accord hybrid, but that works too

[Duck Vader]

In all seriousness, how is the reliability of full size GM hybrid Suv and trucks?

I can't answer that with personal experience. The only work I've done on them is maintenance. Have never seen one in for a powertrain issue

From some online digging looks like there was some problems with the 08-09 ones with leaving people stranded, but not so much the newer ones.

I like that Yukon, but seems a bit overkill. Don't need all that fancy stuff. Might do some more looking. 20+ mpg for a full size GM would be nice. Looks like towing capacity is decent too.

Also although that Escalade is cheaper, I would feel like a major douche if I ever owned one.

I always felt like they were a better idea than they really got credit for.

[Duck Vader]

Ya I am really not seeing any bad reviews really. Just seems they came out at the "wrong time".

Might go test drive one. 20+ mpg, full size, towing, 4x4, comfortable, etc. See no reason why I should avoid one.

[DCIV]

This is basically the same size as the avalanche that I thought was too long?

[Duck Vader]

Almost 2 feet shorter.

[Duck Vader]

I just get nervous with a high mileage hybrid. If it goes out, they are expensive to replace.

Only $6000, but has 185k on it. But at that price, with that mpg, I would actually save money vs the Volt each year.
