To get a roof rack installed on my car would be over $1000. I checked.

You can’t make this argument while also stating in other comments that a truck is too expensive.

I’m not arguing that. You have a fair point.

But my argument about a use case for a truck isn’t about MY truck (I don’t have one), it was merely about the valid use for owning a truck.

I’m getting by right now by wrecking the inside of my car (it’s already done). I looked at getting a roof rack, but the quote I got was around $1400. But that only would help with getting new drywall. Not broken up garbage drywall, and wouldn’t help with bags of garbage.

I know you don’t have a truck. As I said, I read your comments.

I still don’t understand your other issues. They seem like they’d be solved with a tarp and good garbage bags (that keep smells contained). I haul garbage and yard waste all the time in my Golf.

A truck wouldn’t be a panacea for your issues either. Truck beds also get scratched up and if you’re responsible you’d have to secure your loads.

How?

on my car

Although maybe your car doesn’t have rack mounts from factory. For lada it’s about 20€ and tightening few bolts.
