Big Foot Sighted In Germany
May 22nd, 2008 by GiGi
It seems that Volvo is one of the world’s finest built cars but they forgot to accommodate for customers with big feet.
A local “bigfoot” out of Wiesloch,Germany just sued a local Volvo dealer because there was not enough space around his new car’s accelerator pedal.
The German bigfoot won a 5% reduction in the price of his Volvo coupe by arguing that his leather shoes, European size 47 (approximately Size 12 in the US) did not fit beneath the dashboard.
The Volvo buyer a refund to pay for a pair of running shoes that would fit into the space, as well as his time changing back into street shoes each time he got out of the car to meet clients.
The judge in the court said size 47 was not abnormally large and the Swedish-made car should have catered for big feet.
