Lol America’s a nation of fat ass’s so they will have to change their cars soon
Lawyers in the states will start suing car manufactures soon for not designing safe seats for fat people.

Lol every car in america will have to be changed now
I bet car manufactures in the US wont be happy as it will cost them millions having to make modifications now
