Ram? Really? I guess if that's all the rental company had.

Have you seen what Europeans have to drive?
There's even pages on facebook talking about "how does the government LET people drive them?"

Oh funny - you mean like Mercedes, Porsche, BMW, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin, Jaguar, etc.

Well, some can tow a little
Porsche Cayenne - 7,700 lbs
Mercedes GLE350, GLE450, GLS450, GLS580 can all tow 7,700 lbs and the G550 can tow 7,000 lbs

I didn't even check the others

I get it. But. At least over here we can jab each other about which big ass gas guzzling grocery getter is the bestest.

And. Friends don't let friends drive Ram trucks.

Do you realize this reads like the classic out of touch American? Just like here, all those brands, and most of their models, are high end luxury for the people…

Well, of course they are high end cars - this was in response to the implication that all Europeans have is low end junk to drive.

The opposite of low end is high end, I think.

I will say I saw a lot of unidentifiable junk on the road when I was in Europe…

I haven't seen that implication anywhere.

In Germany it is illegal. You can't have ANY rust on your car. You can't have any wear bars showing on your tires. You can't have any modifications to your car without government approval and paperwork with you.

One guy I worked with had a Volkswagen TDI and he wanted to move the radio antenna from the rear corner of the roof to the rear middle of the roof so it would look like a Volkswagen GTD which is a little better model. He had to get approval and carry the paperwork all the time. He also wanted to add some blackout tail light lenses so it would blend in with his black car. Same thing with the approval and paperwork.

Of course German cars can and do get rust on them just like all cars. Over there you have to get it fixed or stop driving the car. Germans sell a ton of cars with a little bit of rust to Turkey.

That is how I read the post by acteon277 above.
I could have read it wrong and misinterpreted it. I do that sometimes.

That seems plausible but that is one of the wealthiest countries, Italy seemed different when I was there…

By the video, I think it's the difference in size and space with a Ram vs anything in Europe. Nothing to do with low or high end.

Rams can get pricey, but I have never thought "high end" about anything that says Mopar on it.

Sounds like you may have gotten caught up in a pride parade.

OK, I read it wrong. I don't like when I do that but I am so old now I kind of expect it.
