I was the electronics guy at walmart and did a lot of helping people get TV's and shit into their cars. Id run into people who's care was obviously too small often but one time in particular really sticks out to me. This woman bought a 75 inch. We get outside and THIS BITCH WAS IN A SMART CAR! THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE BACK SEATS! THE BOX WAS ALMOST LONGER THEN THE CAR!

lol what the fuck did she think she was going to do with it?! Not like you can just fold the thing up.

I've definitely seen a group of 3 guys holding a big flat screen to the roof of a car. Which wouldn't have been super remarkable if they hadn't passed me going 80 on the freeway.

I would truly fear for the structural integrity of a smart car if you put something as large as a 75-in TV on top of it.

Why? A 65" OLED TV is just 55 pounds, 75" isn't much heavier. The roof can obviously take it as it's made to hold even if the entire car flips over.

You never know on the internet, Poe's law. Use a /s :)

Nah. That tag is just stupid.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

But those TVs aren't that heavy. And I'm sure the smart car has to pass some load bearing tests to be deemed road safe (e.g. it should protect the driver should it end up upside down somehow.)

She was probably thinking of attaching it to the roof.

I had this happen with a TV once. My brother had thought he could put the seat down, but for whatever reason, couldn't figure out one of the two back seats.

That's another one! So many times I went to put down a customer backseat so that we could slide it through from the trunk and they looked at me like I just performed some dark fucking ritual. Had been driving the car for years and had no fucking clue it could do that.

I wish I could see picture of it
