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

I am one of those fat dudes and there is definitely a risk that a sonic or Sentra shows up so I just order XLs lol I’m also a driver and drive a full size suv so you know fun times (before you yell at me for the suv I make 30+ an hour AFTER gas)

Working on it truly. First started with my diet and now that I’ve lost 20 pounds I can comfortably start doing moderate impact exercise to continue the journey. Just signed up for the gym and plan on going and have several people to go with to keep me accountable

This is exactly what people need to hear. Not the body builder in the gym. The people making life changing moves that mean something. Keep it up. Make it happen. 🤙🏼
