The One Time I'm Driving, This Happens
I have tried to get this shot at least a dozen times on road trips when my wife was driving and I was safely shooting from the passenger seat. I guess having the power of the pedal made the difference. This was super low-speed and there was lots of room in front so I felt safe enough to blindly snap a few exposures one-handed. Finally, one came out how I wanted . . . except it's noisy because I had the ISO cranked up from the night before. Close enough.

With a wide angle lens you'd have to be shooting medium or large format to make out the car when you zoom way in, or else you'd have to be in the truck's wheel well or have the camera hanging out the door of the car to get the truck's tire to fill the frame. That was shot at 70mm on a crop sensor, about the same angle as 105mm on full frame. What you see is what was in the frame - the image was basically just resized, not cropped. Even at a moderate telephoto angle of view, the car is tiny in the center of the frame.
<-- me, when I figured out the shot worked

That's awesome! I can see some grain though. That could be from the camera.
Ahh I miss the Elantra Wagon. I saw a couple today at the junkyard, in superb condition!

Like I said, noisy from high ISO. Anymore you can hardly tell the difference but ISO 800 or 1000 settings on a 10 year-old DSLR is going to be noisy. Oh well.
