oh that is just what I want to do. ride in a plane with 150 sweaty fat
people. me included. yeah, I had always wondered how much better gas
mileage I would get if I slimmed from my 420 to say 200. driving my '75 has
become a chore. hoark self in, slobber down just to fit behind the steering
wheel, breathe heavily because the bottom of the wheel is cutting off
movement of my diaphragm, window always down because my fat gives my arm no
place to rest, our vettes surely aren't made for fat people. Hell, my vette
isn't the worst vehicle. I have a ****vey S10.. I swear you have to be 115
lbs just to drive it.

No. But it must give you hope for the future if someone 420lb can drive a Corvette
- how much do you need to lose?
