Yeah, the size of Hot Wheels. Coolest thing we learned to do was make bodies from aluminum foil. Wrap it around whatever car we wanted, press out the wrinkles, color in the windows and add stripes or numbers with markers, and trim out the wheel wells. Scotch tape across the bottom would hold them on. When you hit a guard rail or another car it caused real damage. And if you ever flipped it, done deal!
