    I’m up in the mountains and remote too.

    Just picked up a secondhand Dacia Spring with a still-200km range for 8k €

    Perhaps the problem isn’t that you can’t get the cars, perhaps it’s that you think cars have to be big

      Nope. I happily drove a geo metro, and I longed for a smart car for year. That particular vehicle isn’t available in the US, either. But thanks for the assumption!

          I’m gonna go ahead and apologize for being snippy. I had just woken up, and I’ve got a fever. Think I misread your intent a bit.

            I wasn’t clear either, sorry. Pretty sure Dacia is part of the Stellantis group of greedy cunts and therefore Dacia would be very much available if there was a market for it where you are

            But no, tiny-penis trucks abound!

              Look at us, being all nice to each other and understanding and shit! The fediverse really does bring out the best in us reddit expats, doesn’t it?

              And yeah, nah. Giant ass trucks abound for sure. A big part of that is our stupid ass laws, but also there’s absolutely a culture of it. I drive the smallest truck we could find, a Nissan frontier, and the year model I have is twice the size of the one from a decade prior. It’s insane. But we had to have either a truck or van to transport my mom’s power wheelchair, and the vans are just simply so far outside our price range as to not even be worth considering. Even second hand. Hell, I found several with no motors in them that were still far too expensive.
