Guess who's driving a Smart?

Sure we've seen celebrities drive Smart cars (Leno, Clooney, Hudson), but usually never athletes, especially football players. Are you kidding me? A professional football player? An offensive tackle to say the least?

Bravo to Jason Fabini. He breaks the mold of typical macho jocks proving their manhood by driving overly large SUVs, owning pit bulls, and having tons of tattoos.

I still can't believe someone that big can fit. He's listed at 6'7" and 330lbs.

Well I guess he has nothing to compensate for with a Hummer. But he may be the first one out so the others don't have a chance to make fun of him.

I also Love how the first 3 pick up trucks take up the first 4 parking spaces.

And I love a site like that that gives the nice Share link so I can put it up on my facebook page.

Is it just me or do Smarts always seem to end up parked next to Pick up Trucks? It's the weirdest thing!

That's a big guy with good taste!

I thought it was just me. I think my smart is an SUV magnet. No matter where I park, when I come back to my car I am surrounded by SUVs.

Perhaps SUV drivers like the little car and parking next to one gives them an excuse to look at it without drawing any attention themselves? Like when John Wayne would never cry in one of his movies since he said he had an image to keep up.

I seem to be surrounded by Hybrids wherever I park.

-Especially Insights and Prius's

I like parking with no one around my car and coming out of wherever I'm at to see a whole crowd of various types of vehicles around it.

Not too long ago there were pictures of Shaquille O'Neal in his Smart on this forum.
