Life’s tough when you’re 6’3″ and 337 pounds. In the case of Indianapolis Colts defensive end Arthur Jones it’s brought grid iron success, fame and fortune, and endless other perks. All that good fortune won’t make your gigantic body fit in a svelte new C7 though and in the case of Mr. Jones, one simply can’t defy the laws of physics.
According to Bleacher Report, the Colts player can’t comfortably fit in a new C7.
That’s a dollop of bad luck on top of some good luck as some folks have speculated the shiny, new Corvette was a gift; and if so a bittersweet ending to a fantastic dream.
What’s a guy to do? Well, he is three hundred and thirty seven pounds. He could go on a diet or run off a few pounds in his spare time, but that won’t happen anytime soon while he’s in the NFL.
Maybe he could have the seats/console modified allowing him more room to move. Maybe make it a summer only car and leave the removable top off for good?
Maybe its time to look into a Suburban/Tahoe for a daily driver. There is a reason these SUVs are popular with ball players and Chevy’s XXL wagons offer a lot of room. Contrary to the “Portlandia” crowds protests, big Americans from all walks of life have made GM’s mega-SUV’s popular for a reason.
If we were gifted a sweet red C7 like the one pictured, we’d put a car cover over it and keep it tucked away as a low mile survivor, and when our NFL days were over, we’d pull a Forrest Gump and run off some of that pro ballplayer bulk and drive off into the sunset. Problem solved!
