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’ve lived in northern sweden and unlike americans we don’t haul appliances around daily. When I would buy one I hooked up my trailer, brought my old broken one to the recycling center and picked up my new from the store going home. Or pay for delivery and disposal if that was an option.

It would take the entire day due to the distance but that’s not really the fault of the trailer or the car.

WTF are you on about? Where did I say that Americans haul appliances around daily?

That’s ludicrous.

Maybe we have a communication failure, I don’t know.

That said, I have family in Sweden and by all accounts it seems like a better place to live than the US, though I live in the Pacific Northwest and would be very hard-pressed to give up the proximity to wild untouched nature that we have here.

Even here in Portland I’m still less than a few boat trips and a bush plane ride away from the deep roadless bush in British Columbia or Alaska.
