Default More Head Room

Can someone help me figure out how to get a little more head room.

I love my 3 but I am 6'6", I could use another inch or two in the front seat. is there any way to lower my seat?

If you've pumped it down all the way it's practically on the floor already. 'Could lay the seat back further, but I know I don't particularly like driving that way.

6'6"and you didn't see thiscoming?
I'm glad I'm not any taller than I already am....

I'm 6'2" and sit with the seat almost straight up and all the way down and I still have room, not saying there is 4 inches but I do have room.

Ideas,

1) Remove your wallet from your back pocket before sitting down ... you'll sit lower by a good inch.
2) Shave the top of your head.

If the above fails, use a blowtorch and cut a hole in the roof.
