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.

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.

"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.
