Honestly, it just feels like a matter of time before we’re gonna see tractor sized vehicles around in cities and people are still gonna say they NEED them for groceries. Yet when I actually visited America and we went grocery shopping with a pickup the size of my room back home, I got the experience of having shopping bags on my lap in the passage seat for the first time ever. Like where else you gonna put it? The trunk? The back seats??? Oh you jokester! There’s like legit no space inside these things.

    These absurd large cars (factory setuo tho, no lift kits here) have been increasing on our roads in the Netherlands.

    I was told we pay some hefty taxes when importing these gas guzzling beasts from american origin.

    But it seems when a company does the importing it doesn’t count for some reason? These big built beasts with crawling tires the ones with treads running up the sidewalls cost a mere €50.000 when a regular old vw golf starts at €35.000.

    And the fuckers are so tall you can’t even reach the bed without a damn step.

    We don’t need those cars here because we can’t fit them. I wish all these contractors would just get vans like normal contractors do, where you can lock your shit and fit loads more in an enclosed space.
