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!

    I drive a sierra and I try to park as far away from the “Good spaces” as possible.

    A) because I know I can’t park my fuckheug

    And

    B) I’m young and healthy. I can walk.

    Before I get berated, I use my ebike for most trips that don’t involve work, play, or long distances. My average fuel usage is roughly the same as when I had my subaru outback that got 7MPG better ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Fuck cars? But also, we need cars. Like, you can’t live in most of the US without them. Nobody should be downvoting a person for using a car. You’d be downvoting a person who uses a crappy system out of necessity. I would hope people here understand that.

        Hard agree.

        Honestly I wish I still had my subie, I loved it, but it couldn’t do what I needed it to do.

        Honestly would have loved it if the maverick hybrid came in AWD/4WD

        Honestly I wish that hybrids had played a bigger role in the cut off of gas engines for those of us who have nowhere to plug an EV in

        Edit: One more “honestly” for good measure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        You need a car but most people don’t need a f***ing truck to get their groceries or commune. US used to have “normal” sized cars few decades ago as well AFAIK.
