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!

      No, they do and typically large appliances even have free delivery. I’m confused by the OC’s confusion. The majority of Americans don’t own those massive trucks, either. Not sure how they think we get by lol.

        you definately haven’t been to the southern states. TBH trucks account for about 35%-40% of vehicles on the road in the midwest, northwest and southern states. And to top it off, 90% of those have never hauled a load bigger than groceries that you can fit in a small SUV.

          Uh, I live in Texas? Lol. Nothing you said is contrary to my comment so I’m not sure what you’re disagreeing with. Yeah, there’s a ton of trucks that people clearly don’t use. They bug the shit out and are everywhere but that doesn’t mean the majority of Americans own them? Even in states where there are a crap ton of them, the majority don’t own one and we still manage to get by but by the grace of god. You can get your appliances delivered unless you live in the absolute sticks.

        I’m not confused. Just asking a question of what their life is like. In the US there are many people in remote areas. Like the entire middle of the country. It takes an hour to even find a grocery store.

          The furthest I have ever had to travel to get to a grocery store is about 30 minutes from home, and that is here in Texas. When I lived in the midwest, where I grew up, the furthest that I ever had to drive was 15 minutes. if you dive more than an hour to find a grocery store, then you pretty much live in the sticks and are lucky to have running water.

      Some do, some don’t. Some are a pain to schedule. Some don’t deliver everything you need. It’s not a solid system.
