Honestly this is absurd. These death machines shouldn’t be legal in europe. That thing doesn’t even fit in the parking space, even though the parking lot has the biggest spaces in the whole city. The Golf Polo is so small in comparison, it could even hide in front of the engine hood of the truck.

EDIT: It’s a Polo and not a Golf, I don’t know my cars, sorry for that!

    It is too big, but the form factor is still important. We upgraded from a Jeep to a Yukon Denali because we are very poor and live in Fuck All, Nowhere and need to haul groceries and furniture from the city.

    With that said, none of us three friends and housemates like testosterone, and we are careful about how we drive and where we park. We do our best! <3

      No hating on your vehicle choice, but very poor and Denali trim anything doesn’t make sense lol

        It was the only used vehicle we could afford that wasn’t breaking down and could haul furniture.

      I just don’t understand why we can’t have mid engine trucks anymore.

      Imagine all that space with a smaller footprint!

        Mid engine trucks? What in the librul hell are those? REAL MEN drive trucks with engine bays as long as a sedan, you dirty socialist commie!

      I drive a sierra and I try to park as far away from the “Good spaces” as possible.

      A) because I know I can’t park my fuckheug

      And

      B) I’m young and healthy. I can walk.

      Before I get berated, I use my ebike for most trips that don’t involve work, play, or long distances. My average fuel usage is roughly the same as when I had my subaru outback that got 7MPG better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Fuck cars? But also, we need cars. Like, you can’t live in most of the US without them. Nobody should be downvoting a person for using a car. You’d be downvoting a person who uses a crappy system out of necessity. I would hope people here understand that.

          Hard agree.

          Honestly I wish I still had my subie, I loved it, but it couldn’t do what I needed it to do.

          Honestly would have loved it if the maverick hybrid came in AWD/4WD

          Honestly I wish that hybrids had played a bigger role in the cut off of gas engines for those of us who have nowhere to plug an EV in

          Edit: One more “honestly” for good measure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          You need a car but most people don’t need a f***ing truck to get their groceries or commune. US used to have “normal” sized cars few decades ago as well AFAIK.
