Good point!  
When I was a kid, there was a guy who lived in my town who drove a '57 Plymouth, and it rode much closer to the pavement in the front than in the back. Additionally, it leaned a LOT toward the driver’s side of the vehicle.

I never saw this guy outside of his car, but he must have been… huge… because he apparently couldn’t fit his belly behind the steering wheel. Believe it or not, he drove with his back against the driver’s door, with his head twisted to the left. How he managed to work the pedals is beyond me.

It also matters if the gas tank is full or empty.

Yes! I usually search make, model, year, and specifications for this type of information.
