Oh say, can you see…? Yes, I can see this behemoth of a car in the middle of the narrow Philippine road! Yes, it's that big! About 18 feet long, seven and a half feet wide, and 6.5 feet tall, taller than most Pinoys. It will crush you by just looking at it. It's chrome and aluminum grill will be the last thing you see.
