  • Big guys in Little Cars......

    This was on AOL news this morning....

    Big Guys in Little Cars
    It’s more or less like the “fat guy in a little coat” routine from Tommy Boy. In other words, Chris Farley-sized drivers in cars better suited to David Spade proportions. These guys will forever absorb all the Shriners taunts slung at them and take great pleasure in driving their diminutive cars. Just the act of these larger than life men getting in or out makes onlookers pause, while an imaginary drum roll plays during the feat, and they all wait with baited breath. Yet once they’re underway, somewhere inside" their inner children are having the times of their lives".

    Hmmmmmmmmmmm.......must be talking about us .I know there are a lot of BIG GUYS here driving these.Is the biggest 6.5 ? Any Bigger ?

      5'4"! 120...


      it does seem that big guys like to drive small cars, though... there was a comic that had a similar concept in it a few years back, i haven't been able to find it though.

          6'2" , 200lbs. People say it's like a circus act when they see me get out, like a tall clown getting out of a clown car!!! Thing is, this is the only car I had that has the most headroom so my hair don't rub the ceiling (most of my cars had sunroofs though, so I didn't help) haha!!!
          The left lane? Are you crazy!!! I never drive in the left lane...It's full of freaks driving the wrong way and charging right at you!!!

            I met guy driving a festiva who was 6'7" and 400 lbs. He said his wife was 5'0" 100lbs and that they both were comfortable in festivas.

                6'3" 200lbs here, and yeah, I've gotten the clown car thing before :lol: heck, my roommate still calls the festy the "clown car". And ditto on the headroom, I have almost five inches of headroom in the festy, my head used to touch the roof in my tauruses, and even in the LTD I have nowhere near the headroom my festiva offers
                No festiva for me ATM...
