Shaquille O'Neal buys smart car

Standing seven feet and one inches tall and weighing in at 375 pounds, Shaquille O'Neal is one big dude. Must drive a big 'ol car then, right? Umm, not exactly. The Phoenix Suns star center has recently been spotted in his newest automotive purchase, a smart fortwo. Seriously. And, surprisingly enough, he fits! Don't believe us? See above for photo proof. Well, so he sorta fits. It's a good thing that Shaq opted for the convertible, as his head comes up several inches over the top of the windshield. Oh, and we can find no real proof that the door has ever completely shut with Shaq inside. Just sayin'.

I just saw one of those on the road last week. I laughed for miles. Most ridiculous looking thing ever. I snapped a pic of it with my phone but the pic just does no justice as to how silly that car looked.

that sounds like the old volkswagon commercials:
" A volkswagon beetle has 10% more head room than a mercedes benz".



What they don't tell you is that your chances of getting head in a mercedes benz are 99% better than a volkswagon beetle.

If this is what you are referring to, the smart is so far from stock I don't think we can really call it a smart anymore.

I have a neighbor up my street that owns a bright yellow one...he used to be real nice and talk to me about cars, but now that he owns that thing, I seem to be like the plague to him since I drive a gas guzzling muscle car

The same thing happens when people buy Macbooks.

Yeah, now thats smart! Ive been seeing more and more of these stupid things down the Main Line. I laugh every time because they are so ridiculous and ive heard that it takes more energy to make them than they save.

Ahh, kind of like using Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries in hybrids and electric cars!

exactly, or he uses it to drive from one part of his mulit-acre property to another so he doesn't put miles on the Maybach Benz even though he has two of them parked in the 10 car garage with Jeffery in a Tux waiting for him to open the door.

I've thought about doing that (Busa or other superbike drivetrain in a Fortwo) just to embarras people....


Then again once upon a time I thought of buying a Yugo just to transplant a SBC into it....

I think that thing will get leveled against a truck or other big cars....certain death.

[jd1666]

I wonder how an F-body would do going 70 mph into a wall.
