In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
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 use my shit.
In Europe that would be a VW Transporter or similar. Not the kind of thing you see parked on a residential spot unless it's gardeners being there for a job, they love their flatbeds.
And WTF are you towing that kind of load (at least looks heavy) on a twin axle. No wonder you people think towing shit is dangerous. Read my lips: Wheels on all corners, brakes.
Jesus. Glad we don't see that kinda sketch on the roads here.
Empty plastic bins. Heavy but not too heavy for the trailer, well within the limits. That's funny that something scares you guys yet the same people would hook up a camper to a golf lol. Here's some more interesting loads I've done for your viewing pleasure.
Probably shouldn't. That's sketchy as fuck.
That's completely legal, everything is fully secured, went through 3 states with that one6 years ago. I've hauled aircraft all over the USA, picked up planes in California and Michigan and brought them back home to FL. You always get interesting looks from people with those haha Here's a fun one for you.
Wow that looks interesting to say the least.
The pickup absolutely does not need to be that big to be able to haul that much mass. Also, most large cars you see driving are pretty much never at capacity. Could get away with having a shared pool of specialized vehicles that will get used only when really necessary.
You should also learn to use your shit. That is a death trap.
