For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

Right? If something has "100x less" something, does that mean it has 1%? 0.99%? Some other random figure?? What are you even trying to convey???

I usually hear numbers less than 10 used with times less. Do you have an example for 100 times less? I'm curious to see this figurative trainwreck.
