My dad is 6′5", and he used to complain about finding—and paying for—extra long ties. But when you’re the tallest man in the world, finding anything that fits is a colossal task. So when Ukrainian Leonid Stadnyk  needed a new car, he called his country’s President, Viktor Yushchenko, for help. After some sweet talking from the prez’s people, local engineers modified a Chevy mini van to accommodate his incredible 8′6" frame—to put that in perspective, Shaquille O’Neil is 7"1′—and Stadnyk couldn’t be happier.

They obviously didnt do enough, he still looks cramped. Poor guy. He should pull a “Hi Tower” and rip out the front seat and sit in the back seat and drive.
