So I get to work this morning and I'm chowing on my donuts and coffee while enjoying a little light reading on S2Ki. When I get this call from a co-worker that needs me to come pick him up because his '85 Civic broke down.........again.
Well being the nice guy that I am, I agree to go get him. Only worry, concern, problem is that his fat butt weights 300lbs. So I'm like . When I get there, he tries to squeeze his butt in my car and again I'm like "take it slow big boy and don't break anything!" He simply says "I'm not".
I'm thinking about coming up with an excuse to leave early so I don't have to take him home after work.
Anyone else have someone this big in their S's before?

 

I have a buddy that is about 325, and he fit in there. I could tell that the S was little sluggish, but all in all, not too bad.

There wont be too many rides for him though.

 

My dad is pretty big, I'm guessing close to 300, but he's in his 70's and not very limber so the one ride I gave him when the car was new will probably be the only ride he'll get, he had too much trouble getting in and out. He fits into his Odyssey quite nicely though. Surprisingly I didn't notice much of any change in the way the car handled or accelerated.

 

I have given rides to two of my friends that are 6'6 and 6'9 and over 300LBS. How they fit I don't know but they did it once with the top up even just for kicks. The best thing it the 6'6 one asked me to drive his Porsche TT since he doesn't drive a stick too well anymore and he wanted to see it driven the way it is supposed to be.

 

This is my excuse for not talking to fat chicks

 

I have friend who is 6'5'' and around 340 pounds who amazingly fits in my S of course after a lot creaking sounds from my dash and seat back, he does. We joke about if we ever in a roll over he would never fly out of the the car even without a seltbelt he is so wedge in there.

 

Tell him that Honda has 1.9% financeing on new Civics, and drive him to the dealership and leave him there.

 

I have a friend who puts out and exerts almost 400 lbs of force to the ground and whenever we had break from classes we would go out to grab a bite to eat. I'm 5'9" 145 lbs (same height) and he is humongous when he's next to me. There are 2 options - either take his car which reeks like a garbage dump and has dust all over the place or take my Si and have his knees slam and push against the dash (with seat all the way back of course) and risk damaging the console not to mention the car looks slammed to the right with him in it.

 

I am just wondering how you guys work at the same place, yet you drive the most beautiful car made, and he drives an 85 civic... Someone needs to promote that guy.
