To tell Dh to stop using my car and buy his own

I wouldn’t mind but he is tall and adjusts the mirrors so that when I look in them I can see the sky and puts the seat as low as it will go and leaves it like it.
He deliberately doesn’t have a car to save money as he works from home and apparently doesn’t need one but is happy to use mine so every time I get in to go shopping, pick the kids up or drive to work I can’t see anything until I put it all back to how it was.
Getting very fed up now as I’m short and can’t see to park properly unless I adjust everything every time.

I get that he has to adjust everything too but I think if he needs to use my car then he does need one and should purchase his own?
Or am I being a bit petty about this?

Have you talked to him about it?

My DH and I share a car. We just adjust it when we get in. It takes less than 30 secs to fix the seat and move the mirror.

It saves us a fortune just having one car.

How do you share finances? Honestly, I'd put up with this because of the cost and hassle of buying and running another car, but we have 100% shared finances so it might be different if you don't.
