Shaquille O’Neal explains how he tried to stretch a Ferrari to fit his height

In the interview, Shaquille O’Neal, who stands 7 feet 1 inch tall, explained that he once bought a real Ferrari and also bought a salvaged Ferrari. He then cut the real Ferrari in half and used two pieces from the salvaged one to stretch the car and make it longer.“I bought a real Ferrari,” Shaq said in the podcast. “Then I bought a salvaged Ferrari. We cut the real one in half, used pieces of the salvaged one to stretch it… and I still didn’t fit.”

After all that work, he said they had to take the top off the car permanently. This gave him about five more inches of space. It finally worked for a short time.
