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!

    We all know.

    “They have there usage”.

    Yes, we know. Does a ranger/hunter use this parking lot on their way from home to the woods? Nope.

    I’m coming off a bit angry, I don’t mean it. But every post about ridiculously huge, gargantuan trucks has a comment about the edge case usage.

    But that’s not our lived reality. In our lived reality 99% of these trucks don’t have any additional usage of that sort. Their owners just want to have them.

      I know you know, and I get the point of this community is to limit car use in favor of public transportation, bikes etc. I support that and that’s why I’m here.

      Should trucks be waaay less common on our roads? Yes and I think that times will change and smaller more practical trucks (think 90’s toyota hilux or todays ford maverick) will be much more common. But there are people out there that have no idea that those edge cases exist and that’s worth mentioning because they do have a place, just not a prominent one, especially in cities.
