Indeed the spaces will have to get wider not just for Durangos but the Golf has grown wider each generation...

Yes, these ugly narrow pittoresque historic European cities are very annoying for us divers of oversized US tankers.

For that reason I avoid driving into towns with my Durango (the SUV brother of this RAM). Fortunately I live on the country side and when I have to go to my company in the town of Dortmund, I have an own large parking space on the ground.

Two weeks ago, when I made with my godchild a trip to Berlin, I had to solve the parking problem:
as it was 39 degrees Celsius, when we drove to Berlin, I looked for a parking garage there.
There existed no parking garages in the DDR, except two after 1990 new built parking garages, all actual ones stand in West-Berlin - and were built in the 6üies and 70ies, so with ugly narrow ramps and parking boxes.
The 60ies garage on the Kurfürstendamm near the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche was, as expected- very narrow, so I had to drive the ramps carefully centimeter by centimeter and also had to take two boxes - the lady in the MINI behind me became really mad :D, but I finally made it.


As since nearly two years I'm a member of the committee for building and traffic of our municipal council, I already made the proposition to enlarge the public parking lots for cars like mine (in my village there are one Durango, one Navigator and over a dozen of RAMs), but due national regulations this size cannot be changed individually.
Fortunately I'm not from the Grünen (the Green party) - Greens would go ballistic at such topics as asking for privileges for oversized American gas guzzlers

Man, I wish I could do that kind of photoshopping. I guarantee the world would love my 1968 Mercury Mountaineer, and maybe even my 1972 DeSoto Firedome.

Broncout or Scounco , your choice...

Noot noot!

(Yes I know it's a video, but it's so short it may as well have been a gif...)

For those who have an Instagram account ( i don't and won't , so i can't see everything ) , there is someone who imagined some non-existing versions of cars . Some look funny but some do look like they wouldn't be a bad idea at all..
