Got any photos of your truck next to "Euro" cars?

I was wondering if any of you have photos of "European" or Japanese cars next to your truck to show size perspective ?

Maybe a Honda Civic, or a Smart car, or Mercedes Benz C Class....... something us Europeans can recognize and relate to.

Thanks in advance.

PS. I did look in Google images to try get some photos there.

Re: Got any photos of your truck next to "Euro" cars?

none of these are mine, or necessarily the same year truck; but the trucks aren't THAT much different from each other in size (until you start to get more late model).

Here is what I could find on google.

My mom always had the best advice. It was just a tad late. After a fall that involved blood, she'd say....."Careful!"

Here's a couple.

First is Maggie and my 2006 BMW 330i.

Second is my 330i showing a little garage envy.

Re: Got any photos of your truck next to "Euro" cars?

I found a couple more for a different perspective.

First is Maggie and my son's 2004 BMW 328i.

Second is another angle with the two BMW's in the background.

Thanks a lot guys.

That is really helpful

I needed to show the boss that the truck would not be that huge

It just helps her get perspective.
