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!

    This question baffles me because it seems like a total non-issue to me as a European. How do Americans get stuff for their house around? Do you not have delivery or truck/van/trailer rental services, and are all your appliances (and not just fridges/freezers which are apparently hilariously big in the US) so American-sized that you can’t fit them in an average family hatchback/crossover/SUV? Or do you regularly move all of your stuff from one house to another?

      most appliances like that stay with the house when you move. When they get replaced they get delivered and install generally by a box truck or roughly a lori sized vehicle.

      Yes and yes.

      My last SUV was quite large and I had a hard time fitting a portable dishwasher in it. Unfortunately the American largeness is in Canada as well.

      Also we moved quite a lot sometimes because we can’t afford nice places and end up in places where the landlord painted over mold and shit so we nope the fuck out as soon as our lease is up.

      as someone that’s never owned a truck and moved a lot I will say one of the biggest issues with moving here is truck/car rentals. you have to be 26 to rent one and if like me you have no contact with family and you’re moving across country it becomes a real issue. thankfully I’ve had decent people in my life willing to help me but if that isn’t the case you really are just kinda screwed on a rental here in the United States.

      No. One person has a SUV. But I have a house. When I first got my house I did a lot of home repairs. Then a truck was being used every other weekend. A car would not suffice.
