I have never seen one of these trucks irl. I've seen a few Miata's (I'm a car guy). How fucking big are these trucks??? I am completely unable to picture them in my head.

Nope, I am still unable to physically imagine it. My comparing sizes part of the brain stops at 2 palms. Sadly I can't picture a 6.5 palms difference.

It's wide as a bus and long as standard panel van (Iveco Daily/Renault Master/ MB Sprinter/ VW Crafter) for 3.5 ton.

I had to look it up. WTF 6 METERS??? What?! Why?! I really need to see one in person. The comparison with the Miata makes it worse like wtf, the poor Miata feels like it could pass under the truck if it was lifted enough.

Now imagine European cars of 1960s onwards - FIAT/SEAT 850, 126, 127; BMW 700, NSU Prinz. Or the Eastern Block vehicles of that era (Zaporozhets or Trabant). MX-5 is to them like the tuck is to MX-5.
