Shaquille O'Neal buys smart car

http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.au...mart_450op.jpg

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 don't see it working for me. But everyone else should buy one.

those things are everywhere in europe, even in y2k...

I'm not a huge fan of it since depending on how strong your legs and back are would determine how many stars it gets in a crash test...and it's slow. But it's a great platform for a GSX-R or Hayabusa motor swap!

Plus they only run on premium. Gotta spend the extra 20-30 cents more per gallon.
