I just remembered I still have a worn U Joint on the back right side. Is that something to be concerned about in the slightest with him in the passenger seat?

LOL! This friend is not my wife. I'm only 22 years old and don't plan on getting married anytime soon. My 400ib friend doesn't have a vehicle at the moment which is why he gave me a call about 10 minutes ago wanting a ride. Unfortunately, the only car I have is my Corvette. So is the general consensus an A-OK to give him a ride?

Your old seat foam isn't as resilient as it once was and he probably won't fit inside of the bolsters on either the seat or the seatback. I'm 240 pounds of rompin', stompin, Hell 
and I just fit.
and I just fit.

Damn WW7 nice shot........NOT. What is it about larger people that make them think they're sexy enough to pull off a shot like that. I'd be hiding in a closet (a walk-in obviously 'cause she couldn't fit in a normal door). That look is nothing to be proud of or worth showing the world. Geesh, but that's just IMHO.

The previous owner of my Vette weighed over 300 lbs. He had the car over 15 years. He couldn't understand why the power seat stopped working. I couldn't figure out how he got his butt in the seat.

I had a 300 pounder in mine once. After he got in I thought "damn, should taken the top off". He had hold his head sort of sideways. He also had to hang his right arm out the window. I see no way to get a 400 pounder in the car.
