What's a b-ball player to do? Shaq gets a stretched Lambo - Autoblog

I wouldn't wanna mess with a Lambo like this. I'd rather take a sawzall to the roof for a sunroof bam-style then lengthen the whole car. 7' tall dudes shouldn't be buying Gallardos because they're a s m a l l e r car.

so you're going to tell a guy what to do with his possessions and money because he happens to be too large to fit comfortably in the car as is?

if i was a millionaire i'd stretch a powerwheels big foot truck so i could drive it around my estate because i was too large for them as a child and always wanted to cruise at a cool 3mph.
NOW YOU SEE ME! 2.4 MBP and 2.0 MBP (running ubuntu)

They did a pretty good job of the stretch, really. I'm 6'6 and I've had trouble getting into some small cars, so if he's got the money to get the car he wants, go for it.

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

err I didn't tell him what to do, just my insignifigant opinion. But yea, he should buy a slightly larger supercar.

I always wonder about the windows. That woudl seem like the most difficult thing to have fabricated. I don't even know where I would go for custom safety glass for windows like that.

Xzibit keeps them stored at the MTV headquarters. Next to all the DVD's of his videos he plays on Pimp My Ride.

A Hummer has about the same amount of leg room.

lexan is not hard to make up.

Harwood Lexan Kit – Window Install - Weight Reduction – Hot Rod Magazine

I would be willing to bet that the glass for the custom stretch Gallardo is lexan.

a) it appears that you -can- have lexan for windshields. Definitely for racing, definitely for motorcycle fairings, and google says yes for on the street.

b) Shaq's Gallardo wouldn't need a lexan windshield - it would need lexan for the door windows. The rear quarter windows, rear glass, and windshield would remain the same.

Well hell, this is probably absolutely "as good as you can get". And I'd bet there's no lexan.
