Which is the longest car?, Which car is longer?
Can you tell which of these vehicles is longer? 

No less a luminary than Mark Twain once noted, “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.” Yet, despite Mr. Clemens’ call for deeper consideration of the things we appreciate, Americans have always put a premium on size. We like our TVs, BBQ grilles, and fountain beverages extra large, and, based on the popularity of Kim Kardashian, we tend to prefer select elements of our popular icons on the generous side as well.

Here’s your chance to test your ability to judge a vehicle’s length. We’ve selected 5 pairs of vehicles, 4 of long vehicles, 1 of a couple of stubbier rides. Can you pick the longest vehicle in each group? Be sure and tell us how you do.
