My husband and I are both 250+ and were shopping for a car. When we walked on the lot, I explained the car and specifics that I was looking for. . .something like a Honda Civic. . . .We got the stink eye from the salesman, then he turned to my husband and said something along the lines of ‘You’re going to want to look at something a lot bigger.’ We laughed in his face and turned and walked away. Fact – Cars (even compact ones with small engines) have a very large mass and a built so that performance is not disrupted by load Fact – We arrived driving a compact car (actually smaller than the one we bought) without difficulty for us or the car Fact – That salesman didn’t want to make a sale that day
