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!

But not the same volume of people. You'd have to grease me up pretty good to wedge me into that roller skate.

Try dieting and exercise, getting a monster truck won't help you.

I could have a BMI of 15 and still would not be able to wedge my 6'6" frame into that mobile postbox. Not everyone is a homunculus like yourself. Also, there is no conceivable way to use a toy with 10 inch wheels powered by three squirrels to pull an RV, boat, horse trailer, etc... There are other people in this world who have differing needs than yours. I realize this probably comes as a shock to you. You're welcome for being the one to so enlighten you.

Touched a nerve, did I? I would gladly ban horse trailers or leisure boats as well by the way. A small sacrifice to avoid human extinction. But yeah, blind selfishness will definitely kill us. Your petty luxuries are more important I guess.
