Will my 400 pound friend be bad for my C4?

I am a worried that putting my 400 pound friend in the passenger seat of my 1990 C4 will be detrimental to its health. Do I have anything to worry about?

He has been in it before but after a couple of rides with him i took it in for an alignment and they found three bad bearings, a worn U joint and a bad shocks all the way around. Is that just a coincidence or was he the cause?

I think the question should be "is the 400 pounds bad for my friend?"

Is this "friend" your wife?
If it is your wife, give her a chance. If this is a dude, take his truck.

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?
