My boy "Heavy" (his nickname) wanted a ride in my car the other day, so we went for a quick drive. He's about 5'11 and weighs in around 300-310ish. I noticed my car wasnt quite as peppy with him in the passenger seat.

I'm about 320. I have been a passenger in my car a few times. I don't even think there is a close second...probably around 225.

I'm about 330 and I don't usually have a passenger except my girl. A few times I had an extra passenger and I could tell the difference but not much.



It's worse having the A/C on than an extra passenger.

My boy Pat, he's about 290. Plus a tank of gas and a pile of stuf in the trunk and the car was lagging.

My 2 biggest friends,Big Ron(i'm lil ron),and Cliff,are both over 6.6 and over 300 lbs, with the rsx seats ,their knees are hard on the dash and door,and they pretty much hafta lay down!.one of my buds took a hilarious pic of Big ron last year attempting to fit the drivers seat !,his leg wouldnt even go under the steering wheel !! gotta get that pic up here!,it was too funny!









oh yeh Big ron revealed his weight loss wed night at darts saying hes lost 80 lbs and is down to 290, so, he was probably a good 370lbs when the pic was taken...I als forgot my cousin(big pun lookalike), only 6 ft but well over 400 lbs....I was press ed up against my door lol, but my T&P full coilover suspension did'nt even move

Pics or I don't believe it. Never thought of you as a big guy!



Never had anyone particularly heavy in mine, but I can definitely tell when there's 2 or 3 other people in it, plus luggage. Very different feeel.



I did once have about 400lbs of bagged manure in the trunk (no worries, the Tiburon was not harmed or smelled in any way!). Definitely could tell a difference. Of course, heading up a small hill on a 4-lane, I was going to pass an old Geo Metro or something similar who was doing about 40 (speed limit was 55). As I started to pull next to him, he decides he doesn't want to be passed, so guns it. Tiny, old Metro vs Tiburon with 400lbs of manure in the trunk... Surprisingly close race, but after dropping into third, I still pulled well ahead. Not surprisingly, the driver was made out of the same thing as the contents of my trunk.

There are (amusing) pictures from a couple weeks ago in my blog.





I have been above 360lbs, currently resting at 320-325 before going for some more weight loss.

Haha yes I agree!

Well said! I bet he didn't know you were carrying his extended family.
