If you're like me, your reaction to the Mario Williams racing video wasn't "what a thug," but "how does that big a man fit in an Italian sports car?" Actually, in an earlier post on Mario's Lambo, our very own Stephanie Stradley noted in passing that Shaq also owns one. Which of course, only made me more confused about how huge people drive these things.
Luckily, Edmunds Inside Line has the goods on O'Neal's custom job:
The [Lamborghini] Gallardo received custom extended doors, roof and side windows. The company says it strove to maintain the car's "visual integrity" with the changes. Glass fabrication was a particular challenge, the company said. "We relied on our aerospace and coachworks divisions to make sure Shaq could fit in the car, but the naked eye could not detect any differences from the original Gallardo," Gaffoglio [Family Metalcrafters] CEO George Gaffoglio said.Color me impressed. Now let's see them make one small enough for Earl Boykins to comfortably drive. Or one rugged enough for Brad Miller to take on a hunting trip. Until those days come, I will hesitate to crown them kings of the NBA Lambo customizing scene.
