I lived in a basement suite, followed by a dump of an old house, before I found a slightly less dumpy old house to purchase in a rural area that most city folk would absolutely hate. This was all before the age of 20. Sold my old house about 7 or 8 years later to a younger man who had a very similar starting plan.

Now I have a 5 bedroom house on two acres. It's not in some heavily populated area, it's out in the country and it's affordable.

Anyway, if you're a single parent over 40 working at McDonald's, you've made far too many bad decisions in life for me to be of any help.

I'd say it's pretty handy if you don't have an ejector pin on you. Don't have to take the phone out of the case either

What did they say like 76 percent of the population has had one strain or another of covid?

Even if masks are totally effective, all you're going to effectively do is delay the inevitable. You will catch this; it's only a matter of time. I choose to get it over with.

What do you do for a living? For many, wearing a mask while working is a recipe for guaranteed heat exhaustion. I'm not subjecting myself to that, and if the illness is anything at all like the last time I had it, it was a goddamn cold.

Wearing a mask in a hospital full of people with compromised health and all sorts of contagions floating around is a really good idea.

Wearing a mask outdoors in the summer time on a construction site full of other able-bodied people is just fucking silly.

Are trailers with that front dolly axle common in europe? We practically never see setups like that aside from slow moving farm equipment, or you're pulling two or more trailers as a train

In North America we have bright orange florescent "slow moving vehicle" signs on the back of farm equipment and the like. If you are impeding the flow of traffic and you don't have a slow moving sign, you're committing an offense. Most of our rural highways have no passing lanes; the yellow line in the center indicates when it's safe to pass using the oncoming lane.

Also,, as someone else mentioned, the government dictates towing vehicle limits here, not the manufacturer. We all know how honest vw is when it comes to reporting their vehicle specifications.

I still can't envision a VW golf pulling a 4400lb trailer. I'd be surprised if the tongue weight alone doesn't lift the front wheels off the ground. My GMC Sierra with a 4.8l v8 struggles to pull my 6000lb travel trailer. According to GM, it's slightly overweight but according to traffic safety laws I can pull it, considering it's vehicle class.

This isn't Germany, people don't drive like robots, so you have to drive defensively at a relatively equal speed to the rest of traffic or some idiot will end you.

You try going 20km under the speed limit in Canada, and you're going to get rear ended. If you can't drive near the speed limit on level ground you are overloaded.

Your brakes, tires, suspension, motor, and transmission are not built for towing. You are going to cause an accident.

I really want to see this golf pulling 4400 lbs while not being a hazard to everyone on the road. Good luck climbing a hill on a busy highway without getting into an accident or shitting out pieces of transmission on the road.

That's fucking insane, my "giant" 1/2 ton pickup is only book rated for pulling 5500 lbs.

God forbid somebody drives a pickup truck. There's never ever a necessity to haul anything weighing over 500kg or to ever pull a large trailer. It's safe to assume anybody driving one of these big scary machines is a sadist with a micropenis and a threat to society.

Do you realize that whoever grew the food you ate today likely owns and utilizes a pickup truck? Do you realize that your convenient city life would be impossible without rural people transporting goods to your little concrete paradise?
