Check this out, Shaq had his Gallardo extended by 12 inches so it would better fit him; I need money like that. :)

Shaquille O'Neal needed some length added to his Lamborghini Gallardo. The 7-foot-1 basketball star fits a little more comfortably now.

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif. — Basketball great Shaquille O'Neal got special treatment for his Lamborghini Gallardo — a stretched version thanks to Gaffoglio Family Metalcrafters, a supplier for such corporations as the Boeing Company and PPG Aerospace Glass. The longer Lambo has 12 inches added through the middle, surely a relief for the 7-foot-1-inch athlete.

The 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 CEO George Gaffoglio said.

What this means to you: Great minds working together help Shaq fit in his luxury car. Two points!

Whatever...:bash:
