Yes, The smart was purchased through the Orlando Smart Center and had some custom work to move the seat back and remount it to fit Shaq's frame.

They say 'small and uncomfortable'. It is small but I find it comfortable. I am six foot tall and weigh 320. I had to send photos to my sister to prove I could get into it.

Shaq is 7'-1" or something like that. I can't believe he got one. He obviously won't be driving it with the top up. I wonder if he supercharged it also to haul the extra weight.

Maybe we can get him to show up at a smart meet. And what wheels does he have on his? They don't look stock.

It's an interesting photo. If it were not a convertible, Shaq would not be smiling.

If you're old enough to remember, VW made an ad with Wilt Chamberlain, about the same height as Shaq but much more fit, trying to get into an old Beetle. He couldn't do it.

I'm 6'1" and I actually move the driver's seat forward from the rearmost position because the arm reach is uncomfortable.

My friend Andy, who's 6'6", fits okay in the passenger seat, but would be hard pressed to sit for long in the driver's seat.
