Thats pretty amazing.

Chew on this

The average man in the US weighs 189.8 pounds.

Ok, muliply that by 18. you get 3,416.4

Do you see what I am getting at? Thats a lot of weight in a little car! The people weighed more than the car! lol

This bit of knowledge will come in very handy for those days we are to do the soccer pick-up/drop-off. We can actually fit both teams in the Mini .
