TIL, the reason I don't see cyber trucks in Europe is because it isn't meeting our safety standards. Please don't trade with our safety, it's not a currency for you to trade with.

Make sure to write down the names of the reps who deal with crooks to keep your safety in-tact.

Buy European, Japanese and Korean cars!

I've always thought Japanese work trucks are so much better designed. Most of the people with giant trucks in the US don't even use them as a truck.

When I visited the iron mines in northern Sweden, the vast majority of the cars you saw were Toyota Hilux. All over the place. I think the vans used were mostly VW.

"US Car Standards". I laughed at that while avoiding a huge pickup truck that is too big for the streets and parking lots.

U.S. car standards today are determined by the size of the ~~bribe~~ contribution to the politicians superpac fund.

I'm already sick of those huge pickup trucks that don't fit the parking spots here. And should not be allowed here either for safety.

And remember kids, vandalism is not a bad option when you government likes licking US boots.
