So this chick tries to get an alignment for her KIA, but fails because she is to fat and it pulls to the left because of her weight...

http://canwest.a.mms.mavenapps.net/mms/rt/1/site/canwest-globaledmonton-pub01-live/current/launch.html?maven_playerId=troubleshootermedium&maven_referralObject=3475882

Funny thing, the mechanic suggested that they do the alignment with her in the car (which is the proper procedure) she gets insulted and tries to create a shit storm using the media :haha::haha:

[Super Dipper]

she needs to ease up on the burgers.

my suggestion would be to sell her a set of coilovers, and stiffen up the left side so it doesnt pitch so much into the corners.......then tell her to ease up on the burgers....again

[Great68]

It's a KIA...

It's meant for skinny Koreans, not fat Albertans.

She should feel fucking humiliated. It's not society's fault she can't put the fork down.

[!SG]

wow, just wow...

and she complained about it?

what kia suggested was the right thing, have the person sit in the car and then do the alignment.

"she feels crushed", no one ever asked how the car feels...

[roastpuff]

"she feels crushed", no one ever asked how the car feels...

ZING! :thumbsup:

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

Spent a lot of money my ass? bitch plz its a piece of shitty ass KIA RIO god damn
GTFO , seat belt extender? man lose some weight if u cant even buckle up.

:rolleyes: ppl..

[Tgo]

If she ever gets in a car accident how are they gona pull her out? I feel bad for firefighters, do they have a crane on the trucks?

[InvisibleSoul]

LoL... I remember way back in elementary, some really big-boned person climbed into the driver's seat of a 80's Honda Civic hatchback... that thing became an instant low-rider.

[!SG]

forget that, at dtp, rockstar's old civic hatch had 5 ppl in the car w/ the trunk opened. i ran and jumped into the trunk... we heard his suspension creek, and his pipe smash onto the bc place stadium pavement.

we should have took a picture, his car was already slammed, but now it was low ridin!

[alex.w *//]

i wonder if fat tires would help

[greendb7]

"Tiffany Lukian loves Kia Rio's"

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

"Tiffany Lukian loves Kia Rio's"

[keifun]

she should of opted for a bigger car...

[hotjoint]

bitch is fat, deal with it or get another car

[SkunkWorks]

she should of opted for a bigger car...

Man, she should go for a run and stop eating so much garbage.

[nosaj]

"Tiffany Lukian loves Kia Rio's"

haha I laughed at that

haha hey didnt kia have an increasing sales for the past month or something? while most of the other brands were going down with their sales

[Jackygor]

Premature tire wear for sure, its like adding fucken camber with her weight!

[SoulCrusher]

Reality check, You're fat bitch!

[03aspec]

wow, just wow...

and she complained about it?

"she feels crushed", no one ever asked how the car feels...

lol, exactly.

[RE-Jo]

Finally for once RS members agree on something.

[tool001]

serves her right for purchasing a KIA

[Peturbo]

Reminds me of the time i was driving behind a Smart car.
This huge lady was driving and she literally look up 3/4 of the width of the car and the left side was sagging down.

[ToyotaPowah]

Man, that video is a goldmine for fat jokes.

[q0192837465]

fat ppl like to blame others for being too skinny. True story.

[!SG]

im fat, but u really gotta draw the line when ur the cause of ur car's gansta lean...

if ur so fat that u affect how well ur car makes left turns, u gotta stop blaming society. wonder if her CD skips because its not level when playing...

[AVS_Racing]

lol omfg its her own fault, they should VOID her warranty :haha:

[SoulCrusher]

She needs to put a grizzly bear in the passenger seat to provide counter balance... and maybe even get the bear to hold a couple of cinder blocks.

[elyk]

with all the money she spent on burgers and fries, she could have bought a nicer car.

i bet if she sat in the passenger seat it would pull to the right

[3seriesBeeM]

stupid lady gotta stop blaming others for her weight problem jesus its always someone elses fault. maybe this will be a big reality check that hey wait im FAT maybe i need to lose weight

[nismosx]

put 300lbs weight set on the passenger seat and alignment fixed, WHAM BAM turkey and ham!

This is what an engineering student from another forum wrote to the journalist
LOL
------------------------------------------


"Good day.

I suspect my thoughts are inline with the vast majority of the public in regards to your recent story regarding the "FAT" woman and automotive issues.
Your spurious attempt to pull on the heart strings of compassion is a despicable substitute for real journalism. As a reporter, I think you have fallen far short of journalistic integrity and professionalism.

I weep for the future of Global News and the Canadian media if this is the type of story you are encouraged by your editorial staff to report.
The woman is clearly beyond healthy, and well outside the realm of the 95th percentile that automotive designers aim to accommodate. Her purchase of a sub-compact car is tantamount to a 7 foot tall man purchasing a sports car, and complaining about the head room.

No matter the cause of her obesity. people like this are not to be presented as hard done by and victims of their own situation. She knew she was fat, and yet chose to purchase a small car that is ill suited to her needs. I applaud the restraint and tact displayed by the dealership, although I suspect it is only driven out of fear of further slander from your 'news' agency.

The only satisfaction I'm able to extract from the editorial piece you've chosen to present is this: in 10 years time, when the woman is struggling to cope with severe diabetes, plaque stricken arteries and frequent heart palpitations that put her on a fast track to death or an expensive government paid surgery, the drivabiltiy and alignment of her car will be the least of her worries.

Please revert to actual news broadcasting. I understand the emotional appeal of defending the weak and standing up for the "little guy" (yes that's a pun)... but there is zero news value to stories like this, and doing so only dilutes your journalistic integrity."

[?NR]

common sense > obese lady in underpowered, cramped econo crate.

can you imagine what else she complains and cries about if she did so with this incident?

McDonald booth seats are too small, they're discriminating against the obese. :cry:

[jimzilla]

wow she is fat, isnt there a point in ones life when the tell themselve, "Gee I am fat"

[mmmk]

put 300lbs weight set on the passenger seat and alignment fixed, WHAM BAM turkey and ham!

i would suggest the same thing...but the KIA will loose performance points :(

[dustinb]

I would like to see the airbag go off. Two hands, two boobs, and a gut on the wheel!

[RSXmiloRSx]

i think it's time to sell the car and start walking, maybe the sidewalk will tilt to the left so she doesn't need to turn

[marc0lishuz]

LOL some guy from another forum did a remix with his voice added in

GOLD BAHAHAHAHAHAH

BTW - Any word on the email to the journalist who covered the story?

[tamazoid]

lol! I would be even more embarrassed going to the media about this issue to everyone! And I saved the video off the site and the actual name of the file is "GENH090128FATTIESINCARS.flv" haha!

[Tegra_Devil]

hahahaha...common now....its not our fault your fat...hit the gym you lazy piece of shit

[MarkyMark]

Even worse is the part after where they talk about seatbelt extenders because they can't fit around them just as they are...like seriously you're that fucking fat and your main safety concern is flying through the windshield? I'd think you're more likely to die of a heartattack in the drivers seat than anything a seatbelt will do for you at that point.

[JSALES]

what a dumb bitch

LOL OMG... Bad story about seatbelt extenders...

I was on a plane with my aunt from HK to Chongqing to go on a cruise through the Three Gorges Dam. Anyways, we're talking in Canto and this FAT white dude sits across from us and tries to put on his seatbelt. It wouldn't fit so he asked for an extender. Then my aunt mumbled "wah... gum fei!" (Whoa, so fat!) and I snickered. I'm sure he heard us.

Then the white dude started chatting with the flight attendant in fluent Canto. :cry:

[!SG]

ive only seen them bring that out once, and that was for some kid that would not sit in his seat during take off and landing, so the mom had to hold him while the plane took off and landed...

my story was my trip back from hk to toronto (earliest flight i could get)
some fat lady sat in first class on air canada. they have those new what i called "coffin" style first class seats, where they can lay flat and u can sleep. anyhow, first, she refused to put down the shade so my area was blinded with the bright sky from outside. 2ndly, when she did go to sleep, she had to fucking roll over. Doesnt sound bad right? cept for the blanket wasnt big enough for her, so when she rolled over, the worse case scenario happened. Fat women, not enough blanket, rolling over, in a moo moo dress. i was horrified, and watched ironman twice hoping it would erase the horrid picture i just saw...

Im not saying im a skinny fuck, or even a fit fuck, but hell, if my fat as ever gets that big, either kill me, or force me to do something about my health. you cant blame society anymore.

LOL...I don't know if you were there, but at the RS meet at Cambie Comm. Centre a few years back, TypeV helped us lower a Civic :D

[Harvey Specter]

Lol, seriously is it that hard to figure out that the CAR IS TOO SMALL FOR YOU. It's like fat people trying to fit into smaller clothing. And i'm getting fed up with fat people who act like they have some sort of non-curable disease and the entire world should feel sorry for them and fulfill their every need. Stop eating, go on a diet and workout!

Here's another update, I sent her a message, but here is another guy sending her a message on FB.

Maybe someone should send her the link to this forum LOL

Someone needs to 4chan troll this bitch good.

[SoulCrusher]

someone needs to start up a facebook group so we can all share our comments with the beast.

[some_punk]

I am pretty sure everyone here knows that dealer charges extra for smokers package, Why not take advantage and make an extra charge for a fatass package?

[cococly]

Just like a slump of flesh resting on the seat... WTF?

"it just didn't make me feel like a person." No I don't. Can you teach me how to get FAT?

I am losing weight at the moment...2lb a Day, OMFG..

[Rotary_Rage]

LOL we had the same issue with a chick when i was working at Kal Tire she was driving a sunfire thou

she came in 3 times within a year complaining her driver side tires were getting worn out faster then the other side, kal tire replaced the tires twice and gave her a free alignment the third time basically our manager told her that she was to heavy and we wouldnt cover the warrenty anymore.

that was a good day she lost it and the cops had to escort her out of the store haha

[2damaxmr2]

^ LOL i wish i was there to see that shit.

[jeffh]

on a technical side, its supprising how much difference a person can make on an alignment. my old integra was 2350lbs no driver in race trim. we did a alignment where i work and dialed it it so the front camber was at -2.75 on the front and -2.5 rear
i then drive the car down to get cornerweighted. to do this properly you need to sit in the car, i only weigh 145lbs and it moved the driver side up to -3.0 degrees of camber. and this is on a car that had 720lb springs up front

i cant imagine the difference a 350lb woman in a stock rio would make

It's never their own fault! Someone should carry wide load signs and walk behind fat people.. LOL

thats sad.... to blame a dealership for your own problems.....

then saying you spent a lot of money on it... well she should spend that money on a fucking gym pass.....

Enough said.

[2damaxmr2]

KIA and a lots of money doesnt go in the same sentence.

[yoall]

All you guys are so mean. I would blame this on Kia.

For not building the car around her. To meet her needs.

[some_punk]

KIA and a lots of money doesnt go in the same sentence.

I used lots of money on repairs for my KIA.

You can use "lots of money" and "KIA" in the same sentence.

[fullyentranced]

rofl qq more.

[J-Wangsta]

BRAVO to that engineering student.. haha. ZA GISH!

[shenmecar]

LOL

[Black SC2]

I wonder if I can go after the manufacturer of every car I buy and bitch that my car is slower every time I bring friends with me because of the extra weight? Shouldn't a car be able to defy physics? I'm not going to say anything about her weight/ health etc., that's another issue altogether, but really, would she expect to be able to walk straight if she had ten or twelve percent of her body mass hanging off her left side? Unlikely.

[twitchyzero]

fail..she shouldve bought a smart car.

[AzNightmare]

lol. That's quite mean. She acutally doesn't look really bad for a fat person.

[skyxx]
