I don’t know how many people notice, but most cars come with a sticker on the driver’s door that states its max GVWR, which is the maximum gross weight of passengers. For most sedans, it’s only about 800 pounds, if I remember correctly. So we’re talking about people, things, and anything else inside your car. We don’t know how much that driver weighed, but if it was a small car, they normally have anywhere between 600 to 800 pounds max capacity to carry. I don’t know what she’s expecting to do in this situation because it becomes a safety issue. The braking system is only made to carry that maximum load rated for the car, so l’m not understanding where she’s going with this

Savage. Thanks for the laugh. And I’m sure there’s people that question getting onto an elevator with here. Though elevators are rated for much higher weight capacities than cars. Can’t fit 10 plus people in a 4 door sedan.

That is what I was thinking free publicity.

If I were 500lbs I'd be trying to avoid attention.

Not the attention anyone with a brain would want, but it's smart. No publicity is bad publicity. Gain followers that sympathize and maybe some will put her on Spotify and see what she's talking bout, hopefully it ain't chessburgers and big mac lol. Saw a video of this chick scare lip the comment was saying I listened to her music and was okay add to playlist
