> 8.5-foot-long (2.6 meters)

8.5’ is 102”. There aren’t any current, mainstream cars sold in the US that are shorter than 150”. A Messerschmitt KR200 was 111”, a Toyota iQ 118”. Original Minis were 120”+. The width wasn’t listed in the article that I could see.

This is about the same length as a Honda Gold Wing.

I know right, so pathetic. A centipede only 102”, merely taller than more than 99% of people on this planet. Nothing to look at.

You must be fun at parties. Hey I've got a handful of peanuts for you! "That's technically not a handful!"
