NFL Lineman Can't Fit In His C7 So He's Taking It Back
 

He didn't test drive it before he bought it.

Gee, big surprise, GM didn’t build the interior to deal with a 99th percentile human. Ought to give him a depreciated return payment. Don :crazy:

test drive? how about just sit inside the car at the showroom before buying it? LOL

I am sure he will find something else that he can fit his big butt and bucks in.

The convertible has more headroom with the top up. At least 3 more inches. Hard to believe that he didn't sit in it before buying.

Indeed! :iagree: Maybe these guys have so much surplus cash that they simply don’t care? Don

:yesnod:....and call it a stupidity penalty.

:crazy::crazy2::rofl:

We're not talking Med student here.

I let my gf's coworker's bf take my c15 vert around the block before we went out for beers last Friday. 6'6" 285 lbs. He was able to drive it fine, but looked uncomfortably stuffed into the driver's seat. I'd say 6'4" 235 or so is the practical max for any distance beyond driving across town. A buddy who has a 08 Z06 is a little shorter but probably weighs close to 300, and also looks uncomfortable in my C7, yet right at home in his C6.

I am quite sure at 6'3" and 337 lbs Art Jones would not fit as stated. I am also sure the dealer will take the car back and have no problem re-selling the C7. The car is now famous.

I am also quite sure that Art Jones will certainly test drive the next car he selects in the future. Yes, it was not the wisest move to buy sight unseen at his size. But people screw up and it's not a big deal, but does make interesting press for the player and the Corvette C7.

One thing we know for sure is the Corvette C7 attracts all size buyers. Some small, some big, and some very large. Just goes to show, so many diverse people want to own this beautiful American made sports car.

So many slobs like this in todays NFL. 6' 3", 337 lbs is a slob. There are likely some football junkies out there who love these goons but I'm sorry this simply does not constitute an athlete. A pig like this will have a hard time squeezing his fat ass into any vehicle. I'm 60 years old, exercise 4-5 times a week, 6' 3" 230 and fit great in a C7 as I did in my C6, C5s, and C4s. This kinda stuff drives healthy, fit, people nuts. Look at some of the offensive lineman as well. They can barely walk back to the huddle with their beer guts hanging half way down to their knees. Yeah, those are athletes. Its like the idiots who eat themselves into 400 walruses and bitch because the coach seats on commercial airliners don't accommodate their morbidly obese proportions.

Lol! He is a slob? I find your commentary above humorous... You surely must be a specimen of perfect health.

With that said, I'm 6'4" 263lbs (must be a slob) and fit just fine in the C7, however I did notice it was a smaller cockpit than my 2011 C6 GS.

Interesting read, lol. I'm sure he can afford another car! lol.

Even the most liberal and forgiving weight chart will show a person at 337 lbs to be morbidly obese, or more commonly a fat slob.

:lol::thumbs:

Again... It is arrogant people like you that drive me nuts. I workout 6 days a week. Often two a days, but also know to show respect for other people.

Just because your 60 and in supposed great health means nothing about your character. You are likely a pretentious person who also acts as such with people... All the best to you Mr. Pinnacle of health. Lmao.

You're a rude person and undoubtly a person who is really into himself.

I would bet that Arthur Jones would run circles around you. This guy has endured strict physical training and very few people have his overall qualities to play in the NFL. It's a rough sport, and I am sure he gets his butt kicked weekly, but he made it.

Don't take away his success in life because he's a "big guy". NFL teams need players like Jones upfront.

Your remarks calling him a "slob" really shows your own character traits. Futhermore, the moderators of this forum should make you delete those negative comments and posts as they are rude and offensive and violate the rules of the Corvette Forum.

Can you run a 5 second 40?

I always thought Shaquille O'Neal was just a tall, out of shape, fat guy until I tried to play full court basketball one night. I exercise regularly and am pretty fit, but I couldn't do it. Size is definitely not an indicator of physical condition or strength.

This guy can probably bench 250 lbs 25 times, run a 5 second 40 yard dash and push a >300 man around for three hours. He is definitely in football shape.

I can run 7 miles at one clip with ease, could this load do likewise. I personally could care less about 40 yards. You guys are profoundly mistaken if you believe that these walking balloons are conditioned athletes. A healthy individual just cringes when they observe a 20 something, supposed athlete resort to an oxygen mask on the sideline after running 20 or 30 yards. LOL.
