The reason for the lawsuit? Apparenly the footwell of his new Volvo C70 coupe was simply too small to accommodate his size twelve feet. He claims that there was simply not enough room for him to use the accelerator properly.
Having already purchased special shoes, he then took the automaker to court, feeling that he was not of a size that should not have been accommodated to begin with. The court's ruling agreed.
Our take? Size twelve really isn't that big.
