Just to compare, this is the utopian dream for Toronto:

There are approx. 18 cars and trucks in that image.

They are taking up SIGNIFICANTLY more space, and are causing traffic.

Still, we keep saying, “give us more of this, please!”.

Insanity or stupidity?

    Now I want to eat Falafel. These Maoz guys made awesome falafel back in the ‘90s when I lived there.

    These big American trucks are infesting our roads now too. They are technally not street legal because they are not measured to the same enviromental and safety standards compared to a European car for some reason beyond me.

    The EU has not done anything yet, but there are many enviromental groups pressing the EU on getting these trucks banned.

    Importing these trucks (and any truck) without paying any vehicle tax registration is getting cancelled in 2025 here in the Netherlands so let’s hope these trucks will get the fuck off our roads. This law was kind of a loop hole to import these trucks for cheap.

      Quite a few of those ghastly RAM trucks where I am up in the mountains

      If they find out it’s me that’s sticking the “Fuck your environment, I’m compensating for my micropenis” stickers on them, I’m fucking dead

      Cheap as fuck on AliExpress
