Passenger weight
Heads: (2nd lamest thread ever)
whats good...................
Anyone have any problems or concerns with heavy passengers?
Would you want your overweight brother in law riding with you?
I ask because I told mine he couldn't ride because he's too big....
the trunk can only take 220 lbs......the roof the same.......and if you're using both you 'll need to split the difference of 220 between the trunk and roof?
the guy is a planet and weighs at least a cool 300......if not more.....
Was I too protective? Or did I spare myself a visit to the dealer for a new set of seat motors?
stay well dudes,

If a car seat cannot support a 300 pound man you need to question the quality of the car.
I won't comment on all the other issuues your question raises.

Wow, you must be a great brother-in-law. Someday hopefully will learn that relationships are of more importance than your material possessions. No wonder MB owners or stereotyped so negatively. Sheesh dude get a life beyond your flipping car!! No I'm not an over weight person.

I can't imagine anyone treating somebody like that.
Needless to say,I don't want to hear your views on the handicapped or races other than your own.
You must make your family proud.

Did your brother-in-law ride in any of your previous cars? How many times will he be riding in your Mercedes?

Did you know that your trunk and roof capacity are for weights above and beyond the 5 passengers (5*165 lbs=825 lbs).
If it is an incidental short ride, I'd say you could take him without expecting consequences. Otherwise, follow your instinct.
Cheers, JV.
PS: For the sake of your MB, I hope you are not a Clemson football booster.

This is probably the lamest thread to ever appear on MBWorld in a long time.
btw, guess how much Shaquille O'Neal weighs. Try 340 lbs. He's owned several MBs and even owns a Smart for Two. If he ever asks you for a ride, tell him to walk.
There are many super heavy athletes who drive cars. Duh.

At least you won't have to explain to anybody why he can't stand you. It's pretty apparent.
