What I'm about to say is not making fun, it is just an honest life observation; Why do enormously overweight people buy tiny cars? I cannot count the number of times I have seen some 400-500 pound person driving something the size of a Yugo, with the steering wheel digging into his/her gut. On the same note, why do tiny blue-hairs buy cars the size of an ocean liner. I get behind them and it looks as if the car is driving itself.

When I was working as a groundskeeper during college, we had a supervisor on the construction crew who was al least 6'8" and probably tipped the scales over 300 lbs. He drove a little Ford Ranger around. It was quite a sight to see that huge neanderthal get out of that small cab.

I had a math teacher in 8th grade about that size that rode a ~175 motorcycle around town. The poor little thing (the motorcycle, not the teacher) would just about disappear under the bulk. One of those things you have to see to believe.
