Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

I was eyeballing one of those mini car washes at the local gas station. Sign above it said, 6' 8'' Maximum Height. "Sure like to get all this ash from our wildfires off Mellow Yellow," I was thinking. I also thought that 6' 8'' seemed a little too close to the mark. Owner's manual was mum about the Westy version.

So, with regular 185R14 tires, how tall are these things, anyway?
