Dont worry, you'll be without a life soon. > Can someone suggest which cars have > lots of room for someone my size? Get a semi with one of those crane things built in. > I need lots of leg room as my thighs are very big and I need that extra room. The semi would be fine. > Hopefully no console between me and the passenger? There too. > Going to dealerships and not being able to fit into a car is very embarrasing. You could do the decent thing and shoot yourself. > Also, I am talking about a used car as I cannot > afford anything near new, maybe $2000 at the most. A VERY used semi. > Please help me if you can with suggestions. Thanks! See above. |

Please help me if you can with suggestions. Thanks! I saw a fat **** in a Mazda 121 one time. He took up about 2/3 the width of the car. Watching its cornering wasn't pretty. I don't know how he got around the gearstick (probably had a short shift or something). |

It's just that the fat covers it up. Hint to the clueless: if you can't see your gear stick then you need to lose weight. |

Seriously though, men and women from 1960 to 2000 have gained an inch in average heights(M: 5'8" > 5'9", W: 5'4" > 5'5") but over 30lbs in weight.(M: 161lb > 193, W: 135lb > 166!) A healthy weight gain for that 40 years would have been about 10lbs. Problem is we eat so much processed foods with so much **** in the ingredients label you can't pronounce! You carry that around for months on end, un-digested, and thats where the weight comes from. Cars have been getting taller every decade since the 70s, with the 77 Caprice-Impala being an inch taller than the '64s, the 1991-96 being an inch taller than the 77s, and the present Impala an inch taller than that, at 57 1/2 in. Toyota Corolla? The 2004 is 58" tall. The 1994 was 55". the 1984 Corolla was 52" tall. Wider? I don't know. The streets are only so wide, and there are laws about vehicle width. -CC |
