Chad who? How about the football wide receiver currently playing for Montreal Alouettes best known by Ochocinco? The six-time NFL Pro Bowler is one of the A-listers in the game, but it’s not just sports that made him famous but also his car-style. He is known to like things in small portions, and we mean really small.
Sure, those who watch the game know Johnson for his long-time career with the Cincinnati Bengals. He set numerous franchise records in his ten seasons with the team, of which we remind you of the most receiving yards in a season (1,140), most receiving yards all-time (10,507) and most touchdown receptions (65). It’s not just the football field he excels in, as the 37-year-old sportsman has been involved in other successful business ventures too.

He may not be one of the Kardashians, but his 2010 iPhone game called Mad Chad was a top downloaded app that year. Come to think of it, he did star in his own reality television dating show on VH1. Called Ochocinco: The Ultimate Catch, the show was won by aspiring artist Rubi Pazmino.

Our point is that Johnson is not the regular sports celebrity, and just looking at his daily driver you’ll understand that. Apparently, he loves his Smart car so much he has decided to upgrade to a newer generation model. He may not be the tallest fellow in the game, but that doesn’t mean the 2016 Smart ForTwo isn’t quite small.

Ochocinco probably knows it since he asked his fans not to laugh about it upfront. “Looks plain now but wait two more weeks, $20 to fill up & 55 miles per gallon, that’s stunning. Don’t laugh at my car, I get the same results as those driving Ferraris, Lambos and Bentleys.” The same results, yes, but the question left unanswered here is whether he gets the same thrill as well.

 

Ya'll know I love my Smart Car, been driving it since 2007, I just copped the new 2016 foreign joint, the homie Alex at @theautofirm will dress her up properly to my liking. Looks plain now but wait 2 more weeks, $20 to fill up & 55 miles per gallon, that's stunting. Don't laugh at my car, I get the same results as those driving Ferrari's, Lambo's & Bentley's...
