Shaquille O'Neal buys smart car
(IMG:http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/08/shaq_smart_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'.

OMG....trying to be "trendy" just doesn't work this time around.

Yeah he might fit....but his line of site is about at the top of the windshield! What a moron.
I don't see what the fuss is over this car. It's too small & the mileage isn't that great. Cheap price...that's always good, but I would love to see just how well that car holds up in a real accident.

Silly Car...not smart. Yo but he had to put the chromes on it...bling bling anyone?

ITs a great car for crowded cities, and that is it. A prius has more horsepower better 0-60 more seats and cargo room and gets better MPG

I would never drive that thing through new york and that's the defintion of a crowded city. The cab and bus drivers and ruthless over there they just kinda bully their ways into lanes. But yea I don't see what's so great about that car. I guess it's cheap and easy to get considering nobody really wants them and there is like a 3 month wait on the toyota prius around here.

It's easy to get - says who? The wait list is 1 year if you order online. The only way to bypass that is finding someone selling one.

Videos are on the web and YouTube. The car holds up WAY better than you may expect. I would actually feel safer in that car than driving my Nissan Armada - and that's a tank.
