  • I fucking hate dodging cyclists, especially when visiting my mom in the country side, single lanes, poor visibility, god forbid it’s summer and everyone’s out fucking cycling. You know where I never had to go around a cyclist? Literally any Dutch city I visited, because bikes lanes are almost completely separate. Driving in the Netherlands is fucking great. Despite the bike infrastructure, drivers aren’t at all compromised. Just look at their highways, shit looks like a copy paste of American highways.

    This is what you people sound to me like ever since my trip in the Netherlands:




  • It broke my european mind when I was talking to an American about fuel prices. I spend like 90$ a month MAX, usually less on petrol. And then this mother fucker says 200-300$ A WEEK!!! BROTHER WHAT?!? And American fuel price are lower than here due to government subsidies, so like holy shit… How much more is that thing eating up??? He said that he only included his non work driving too…













  • There wasn’t really a good way to secure things back there. At least not something small and squishy like a grocery bag. Besides, the bed is so high up and huge, it’s awkward putting anything up there anyways. The one time we actually hauled something, a Gokart, it was a massive pain getting that thing up there. It’s too high for a ramp so better get to lifting.

    Just for fun I’ve quickly looked online, and there actually exist accessories that make the bed smaller with little boxes for such things. Just buy a roof and it’s almost as convenient as a regular car xD

    My favorite is this one tho, someone had enough brains to develop an actual trunk (if a bit awkward to reach and a bit small) but understood the need for a much larger bed for the fragile ego xD


  • The Americans I visited live in Indiana. Tho it’s less about them actually buying a lot (about a week’s worth), but rather that when talking about cars and how ridiculously huge their’s is, they always say that they need it for hauling and groceries. Meanwhile the rest of the world doesn’t experience this problem.

    And on top of that you can’t put anything into the trunk (or bed I suppose…) and the back seats are just barely spacious enough to fit a rifle case. So if you have around 6-8 bags of stuff, you’re gonna put some into the passenger seat. It’s especially funny, because even my mom’s tiny 3rd gen Clio fits more inside. Picking me up from the airport with barely space for my luggage was another fun one. But they insist on buying these expensive awkward vehicles.
