When you have a ton of money and buy cars all the time like Shaq, you apparently forget what you’ve purchased in the recent past. The former NBA basketball star was honestly surprised when Effortless Motors, a California dealer that’s provided him with some nice customized rides in the past, showed up to deliver a new Cadillac Escalade IQ at one of his houses.
Learn why Shaq buys supercars he doesn’t fit inside.
Footage of that delivery uploaded to Instagram shows a confused, then skeptical, and finally shocked Shaquille O’Neal finding out about the purchase he didn’t remember making. One of his big concerns was whether or not he would fit in the sleek SUV since his 7-foot 1-inch frame won’t normally.
However, Effortless Motors took that very thing into account, doing some modifications to the plush interior so Shaq can enjoy the supple leather driver’s seat without feeling the least bit cramped. Once the big man slipped inside he quickly was won over.
Although, it’s worth nothing he was seated behind the B-pillar, so the driver’s seat was repositioned rearward quite a bit. It’s a good thing the Caddie is loaded with cameras and sensors.
Effortless modified the looks of the Escalade IQ, which is draped in a lot of black for a sophisticated yet somewhat sinister vibe. Most of the trim pieces are blacked out, although some strategic items retain their silvery, shiny finish which makes them really pop.
The all-electric SUV rides on black 26-inch Forgiato Travis Scott monoblock wheels, adding to its imposing stance. Thankfully, it’s not murdered out, a trend which was wildly popular ten years ago but has since fizzled out.
Shaq bought a second Escalade IQ which was also customized by Effortless Motors to be delivered to one of his other houses. The man has purchased other custom rides from the dealer, including at least three Cybertrucks. He must enjoy their work because he keeps going back for more.
We hope Shaq enjoys his Escalade IQ made right for his size!
