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 often wonder how basketball players drive sports cars. Maybe from the back seat?

Anyway, no. When friends ask if they should buy the same vehicle, I tell them to get a smaller one if they fit. Cheaper gas, maintenance, and easier to park...That or buy an RV.

One of the doctors in the hospital I once worked was >2m (6ft8in for the metrically challenged) and drove a Porsche. Seeing him folding into that car was quite interesting.
