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'.

they gave him that car so they could get free advertising. This is stupid. i want to see one of those get hit by anything. that thing will roll down the road and the driver/passenger will probley die.

This whole micro car thing kills me, they are so small they cant be safe around large SUVs and the soccer mom/cell phone fanatics that drive them. It also is funny to me that if you buy a Toyota Yaris and get 35 mpg, you beat my Passat sport wagon w/ a 2.0 turbo, 6 spd auto, and 3x the room by 3 mpg.... There are way to many cars getting over 30 mpg now to buy a postage stamp on 12" wheels and become a moving target. besides whats your life worth, mine is worth buying abigger car, and paying a little more in gas...

I doubt that Shaq could drive one of those. I am 6'6" and weigh 330# I have sat in one and I could actually drive it for short distances. It was nowhere as comfortable as my Expedition, but I could drive to the corner market.

I would hate to have an accident in one though. Your head is almost on the rear window.

LOL at the visual. But he does manage to make it look cool though.
