One's gotta feel so goofy bragging about their truck hauling a load that would fit in most any compact sedan
I mean that easily fits in my compact hatchback
Hatchbacks generally fit things like that more easily than sedans.

Look at the username, and the platform
Why the fuck do people use that site?!?
That would fit in my wife’s fucking Camry man
Camry is not a small car
Sorry, my wife drives a cavalier. Not a Camry. I am not good with vehicle names. I am big dumb.
Exactly it's a mid size sedan. A ton of shit would fit in it
Im pretty sure I could fenagle that into one of those old fiat mini cars from the 50s. Now if it the lawnmower engine that those things have can move me and the bags is another question.
It's people committed to their egos unwilling to admit they purchased a dud from a con man.
I wanna know how much the first owner committed enough to chop off the fingers on their non-dominant hand gets in the lawsuit.
Really though, the NTSB and which ever other regulatory agencies can, should outlaw vehicles with this type of design (brodozer grills in-fucking-cluded).
Let the first batch become collectors items, but fucking stop them from making more super needlessly dangerous road weapons.
I have walked more home in a cheap wagon.
It’s a troll account
It's not a troll account. https://youtube.com/@DirtyTesla
Maybe it was a troll post then. Someone I follow retweeted the post and the guy came into the thread showing it was a joke. He probably got tons of engagement from it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ah the classic "oh it was just a joke" strat.
I literally bought 8 bags of soil the other day and it wasn't even close to filling the trunk of my Yaris
Yeah, but loads like that are often dirty and spill shit everywhere. Plus, there's all the bending and twisting to load and unload.
SOURCE: I used my tiny convertible for years to haul dirt, kayaks, lumber, whatever. It sucked and ruined the insides.
Sheet. Tarp. Or hell that little liner that's already in the trunk you can take out and shake off
Now that's a fair shout, though I just throw a plastic tarp down when I'm moving shit like that in my Golf. It's a non- issue then.
I used plastic bins to haul bulk compost home in my hatchback and the interior survived just fine.
