Shaquille O’Neal, although retired, is a famous basketball star who has made many fortunes for himself. He is not just renowned at his career; he is also renowned for having an impressive collection of cars. He owns many expensive and unique vehicles that had to be customized so they can accommodate him.
Shaq is also nicknamed as The Big Aristotle majorly because of his big size. He is so big that most of his cars had to be modified to fit into them and then they become a Shaq Car. The NBA star must have acquired at least 17 cars in his garage because he loves cars, and below, we will only discuss some facts about Shaquille’s garage.
- Shaq’s Dodge Challenger was customized so he could fit in
Some cars wouldn’t just accommodate Shaq due to his big size – his Dodge Challenger is no exception. But as usual, Shaq would always have a solution for each of his problems, just as he usually does on the basketball court. This car was remodeled so he could fit in.
He also added red LED headlights and under-glow lightings on the car, which gave the vehicle a ferocious cat look. He then named the car “Shaqcat.”
- He also drives a Lamborghini Gallardo
As low as a sports car can be, Shaq needed to adjust his Lamborghini Gallardo seats. Shaq is familiar with this type of problem, so he only had to do just what he did to his Dodge Challenger to enjoy driving his Lamborghini.

- He coated his GMC Sierra Denali in Gold
Gold cars are hard to come by, but everyone living around Shaq gets to see a gold car daily.
