You must live in a land of luck. Around here (Tyson's Corner
Virginia), the sign may claim 6 feet 6, but the reality is more like
6 feet 2. At work the sign's originally read 6 feet 10, but they
changed them (I guess after complaints) and now they read 6 feet 8.

Still feels like I'm going to hit the top someplace when I drive in.
With the 235/75R15's I do hit the top.
