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!

    Dude, as an American I had all of my appliances delivered. The Home Depot guys showed up with a box truck. It’s free delivery too so why would you even need a truck…. In fact, you can get a lot of stuff delivered for free or very cheaply from Home Depot.

    The truck in this picture is so shiny it’s clearly a vanity vehicle. I’m guessing it’s owned by a member of the US armed forces judging by the star on the side? American military personnel are known to bring their vehicles with them from the mainland, to Japan or Europe.

      Just a small anecdote from a truck owner. I showed up to Lowe’s to order a fridge to be delivered. It was $1,800 and I ended up buying the exact same thing on clearance for $400 only stipulation was I had to take it then and there no holds and delivery wasn’t even an option. Ya I could have rented a truck from them but it was 9pm and 45 minutes from my house. Without my truck I may not have been able to get it.

      Also, I use my truck as a truck at least once a week mostly because I get free garbage at my work so I just throw everything away there and just toss our trash bags in the bed of my truck. It’s also great for small projects around the house. Like when I put up our pool. Needed to get dirt out of the back yard and was able to get my truck back there to load everything and then bringing it the sand for under and rocks for around I can get my pick up back there but a company delivering with a dump truck or something similar.

        Right, but that’s still not necessarily grounds for using it as an everyday driver the way a lot of North Americans do.

        And I say “North Americans” advisedly, since big oversized pick-ups are very popular in both Canada and Mexico as well.

          No doubt just saying that some people who drive them as normal people everyday do have a use for it.

      Dude. People can’t ask a question without your rude response?

      Some people are too busy to fit around a delivery schedule and sit around all day for someone to show up.

            Sadly, you only can if the service is good, which is not always the case. But lately, I started to value convenience over price, so I would choose one where I can be certain of a specific delivery time, too.

          Not with my washer and dryer. I was waiting around all day.
