The biggest one I saw was dead and it was about 7-8" legspan, creeped me out for days, I was constantly checking all my gear for spiders for the whole 13 months I was over there.
A spider the size of a Jeep?!? I think that would be the point that I would turn around and say fuck the Amazon, I'm going home...lol.
Definitely, I hate spiders too. I agree with Johnny though, the ocean is where it's at man...we should spend less time exploring space and more time the ocean. A lot of deep canyons underwater, hiding krakens, trunkos, and whatnot. Look at this picture...http://beatledude.files.wordpress.co.../08/kraken.jpg that is creepy shit man.
