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!

    Polo is not the only car in Europe. Europeans use cars that i believe Americans would call station wagon. Those cars used to be used widely in US as well AFAIK until car producers figured out they can sell you more expensive cars by making it bigger.

    I own “station wagon” car, it’s dwarf compared to these monster trucks but i can make 6.6 ft long double bed in the back where two people can sleep comfortably. I transported single bed sized furniture with that car and it uses approx 1 gallon of gasoline per 62 miles.

    Don’t let me start on trailers. Every European car even smallest ones can tow reasonable sized trailer with “dirty” or too bug cargo to fit inside a car. All you need is hook installed once in car life time.

    Also if you buy new anything in Europe, most shops will make sure you get it delivered at your doorstep and won’t trow it at your front yard when you are not there. It has to be given “from hand to hand” often even requires verification of receiver.
