I'm 6'3'', right where the higher risk kicks in.

I'm with ya, kinda. I'm 5'2" or 5'3" (the Army says I'm 5'3, who am I to argue?) Good thing about the GP is that you can adjust the wheel up or down to target your breastplate, which can take more of an impact than your gut or face.

"For those either small or tall drivers, the current recommendations are to try to sit as far away from the airbag -- at least 12 inches," I guess it sucks even more to be below the minimun hieght..... I'm at least 18" away from the steering wheel while I drive because of my seat position and arms lengths.... What happens if you're too short?

You might suffer from some pretty bad neck injuries if your too short. Your head would probably be thrown back into a really bad angle. Doesn't sound like fun to me.

it does hurt. alot. my Neon did have adjustable steering column, but it still angled too high. I had a massive headache on the back of my head after the wreck from slamming the headrest.

better to get a massive headache or some back pain, than doing a face plant into your steering wheel.
