Talking SHAQ gets SMART(fortwo) ......




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 ...

OK, that is seriously funny! How the heck did he even get into that thing? I'd like to see the video of him trying to get out!

Did they just call him a "star center"? PAH, he lost that title at least two years ago.

I reviewed a Smart-for-Two a few months ago, and indeed found it incredibly space-efficient for its size. But SHAQ? I dunno.

Perhaps, as a celebrity, he managed to get preference on the fourteen-month waiting list for one. And if that IS his car, he had better not drive the way a lot of pro athletes drive. Anything but a minor impact, in this car, is serious buisness.
