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!

    Or you use a trailer. Everyone knows someone with a trailer, or, at least where I live, you can rent one for a few hours for free.

      here in the states your options are:

      A) own a trailer (if you have a place to keep it)

      B) borrow a trailer if you know someone with one that is willing to loan it

      C) rent a trailer, there is no “free” option on that in the states, there would be no money made if they did that

        The free rental services are usually from big department stores like Ikea or storage warehouses, and it’s not always free, but like 5-20$.

        Anyway, if you have a truck you most likely also have somewhere to park a trailer. So having a normal car and using the trailer a few times per year would still greatly outweigh the costs and emissions, as I see it.

        Our cars are also at least 2-3x more expensive here, depending on its emissions, so that matters I guess.

          I have a truck for hauling things for my work, however the community I live in for ids parking trailers on the property, I’m in an apartment complex, and storing off site is expensive. If you don’t have family nearby then you’re pretty much stuck with storing trailers at a storage facility.
