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!

    Have you considered that maybe, just maybe, that driver of that truck is the one who is doing your bathroom/kitchen/whatever remodel and NEEDS that room to carry the supplies for that work?

      The tradies here hate those huge American trucks. It’s mostly vans, cabovers and older (smaller) trucks. Weird how these trucks didn’t use to exist (no at this scale/popularity) and people’s homes still got remodeled, but now they’re somehow necessary?

        The repair dude at my workplace literally uses a rusty old Dodge Caravan minivan because a pickup truck is not feasible. Everything he could possibly need fits in the back.

      A van is far, far better for that. I work with fitters all the time and not one of them has a pickup, it’s Transits all the way down

      An accountant told me that the only reason people own these tiny-penis trucks in Europe is because they can be classed as a work vehicle, no matter what your business, and written off against tax
