Plus, the springs are shot on the driver’s side.

And still a heavyweight champion

Poor car, I can hear it grunting from here

Would you like the salesman to be honest with you?

Being 3x the weight limit might have something to do with that. Shoulda bought a 3500 pickup with reinforced springs and frame.

Poor car probably has PTSD.

I think she means 6 gallons to the mile !

The reason is that the only thing that would hold her was the Sherman tank with a Cadillac body welded to it.

Warrantied for thirty days or the end of our parking lot, whichever comes first.

Hilarious. I laughed out loud.

It’s getting that much?

maybe cause it’s an 18-wheeler and you should have told your driver to use diesel to make it better. js

Was it an EV?

“See if the tires are flat.”

How many pounds to the gallon would that work out too? Google was no help here.

It’s because she causes too much of a drag. Nothing she drives will get good gas mileage. He doesn’t dare tell her that unless he is tired of living.

I came back from college with a guy who was only getting 6 mpg on his Camaro. It was because he was driving 85 mph. Never again.

Sounds about right it would seem……

She’s too embarrassed to talk about the fenders scraping the asphalt

Just call it an SUV and all bets are off on gas mileage.

It’d probably get better mileage if you carried it in your purse.

In 1906, The Royal Navy built the HMS Dreadnaught, the world’s first modern battleship. Overnight every Navy was exactly ONE modern battleship short. This sparked an arms race as nations built ever bigger battleships.

In the United States we have a thing called a “crash safety rating.” Cars with higher displacement tonnage do better than smaller cars. So we have an arms race going on as auto manufacturers build safer and safer (read heavier and heavier) cars.

So if your car weighs about as much as an M1A2 tank, your children will be safe in a crash (That is if you even notice that you’ve been in a crash). The children in the other car, maybe not so much.

I had a 1970 Ford Torino Super Cobra Jet with the 429 cubic inch engine (an earlier version of the Starsky and Hutch car), I am happy to say it got 11 miles per gallon on the freeway, what did she buy a Yugo? It will explain 6 miles to a gallon at her size lol

That’s better than 6 gallons to the mile.

shoulda gotten a one ton with duallies…

What amazes me is that she can fit in it.

Nah, getting tired of the fat jokes. Just getting too old and too often.

How did she get in?
