I am 6'6" and about 275lbs fully clothed. Should I shake my head? Really? Would love to see you try and make me

Now, where did I leave that salad fork? Lol

I am not lying, power to weight ratio on this car is one reason I give myself to keep working out. Been cycling like mad. On that note, you should see what some guys will pay to drop a few grams off of a bicycle.

Can a 250+ lbs person even fit in the seats? I'm about 160 lbs, and I feel like I'm pretty snug in the seats. Hard to imagine being any bigger and fitting comfortably between the bolsters...

As posted previously, I am a pretty big bloke and fit in it quite comfortably with only a little grabbing from the seats. Plenty of headroom and enOugh legroom to operate the stick shift

Lol.Sadly I am the opposite when I ride a motorcycle.I need to gain another 20 to 30 pounds to ride one. I have ride motorcycles on and off in the past.Especially during college cause it was so much easier to find a parking space. But weighing 130 pounds, it is very difficult to shift your weight in a turn. And it can get a little scary when I was doing about 50mph and the wind picked up, made it more difficult to stablize the bike.

How many of us would rock the vegetarian diet if this were true?
