Which is what I needed when I bought this car. Most stuff I needed to move was in boxes 20cm x 20cm x 30cm. We had a long wheelbase, high roof van for moving larger stuff. I still have a box trailer I can stick on the back of my car, with a load space large enough for a couple of sofas, with room to spare.
That is why it comes with a load restraint net that fits behind the front seats.
That's a big trailer. I once balanced a sofa and a chair on a small trailer. Probably wasn't legal going along the motorway like that. At one point people stopped overtaking me, I looked in the mirror to find it was hanging off the side.
Ooooh Mr Safety 2022!
There must be a tyre that can work all year round.
Yourself? Ugh. Without making a mess?
I've never changed or asked a garage to change oil. I've had cars last 100K miles on the same oil (that's 50K to 150K I never buy new). Oil changes just aren't needed. If the oil was no good, the warning light would come on.
Lesbian couple?
It's my car I'll be dangerous if I want.
Then use the narrow ones in summer.
Are you so unobservant you can't see when a tyre's flat?
titter titter
If there was, millions wouldn't be changing the tires twice a year.
Yep, trivial to do.
Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you have never had a f****ng clue about anything at all, ever.
The oil light indicats that there isnt ENOUGH oil, not that it isnt good enough anymore.
This is the fool who ignored the oil light on one of his frog cars and chucked a tantrum when that killed the engine.
no doubt
They would, trust me. '96 was a particularly bad winter across the country. I loaded computer cases in Milwaukee, WI to be delivered to Portland OR. The weather turned to freezing rain as I left Milwaukee, and it was all downhill from there.
This was a couple of days before Christmas and people just had to go to grandmother's house despite the horrible conditions. The cars would cluster together in little groups. I'd hang back a quarter mile. Somebody in the cluster would f*ck up and cars would be going in all directions except down the roadway. By the time I got there they would all be safely parked in snow drifts.
I finally had to shut down for a day in Columbus MT because I-90 was closed. Continuing on, a section of I-84 outside of Portland was closed to passenger cars since they couldn't cope with the deep ruts, but they tried. More work for the wreckers.
Yeah, I drove despite it all. It was my job. Oh, there is a rumor in conditions like heavy fog you should follow a truck because the driver can see where they're going. They can't, but they figure unless they hit another truck they'll just roll over little obstacles.
I really should have one of those. 'He would have survived the crash except for getting hit in the head by a pair of snowshoes going 60 mph.'
Why worry about what will probably never happen?
Dunno why you're laughing, as I just said they work fine. I scoff at the rest of you wasting money on oil changes.
Trouble is we close ours when you could still cycle through it, nevermind drive. And some folk have those things called 4x4s....
Doesn't the force of snow falling from that height break the truck?
ROTFPMSL! Those don't deserve to be called cars.
Survival of the fittest / most common sense. Let them die.
Gendarmes love fines. I got charged €700 for operating a radar detector. I think they're privatized and entirely funded by fines. I should have refused to pay and asked to be taken to the British Embassy. I doubt the UK government would accept such a large traffic fine, especially as it's not illegal in the UK. How was I supposed to know of that law?
It's more fun with summer tyres. Just floor it and carve a path.
Makes me laugh when folk on this street spend hours shoveling snow, only to find it melts 2 days later. Just drive through it for f*ck's sake.
What are studs?
If you're just changing wheels, shouldn't that be more like 5 minutes per wheel?
Is that a place you go to become exhausted?
I determine the pressure in my tyres by looking at them. Why have we forgotten how to do this? Just another gimmic to make cars cost even more.
I was at the garage and overheard a woman getting a new Volvo wheel because it was cracked. A single wheel cost her £200.
Mine is part of the standard equipment for the car, although the load tie down system in the back was an optional extra.
