230 Compared to

A friend sprained his knee while we were golfing so I fetched his car from the parking lot. Turned out to be a 4 door pickup with 8 foot bed; enormous! Tight parking too. Good thing it has all the driver assists. And loading his clubs was a high lift into a totally unsuitable place for them.

My car drives much more like a golf cart than like this truck. That's good, because of my fading memory I sometimes need to turn around, and almost any road is adequate for a U-turn. I won't be getting a truck anytime soon.

Trucks get smaller every time you drive one until you know exactly where each corner is, what the truck will fit-in to, and how to fit it in there. They're kinda fun that way!

Now that I'm living in a condo in the city, I miss my Tundra.

100% agree! I went from a Toyota Tundra to my m240i. When I got the truck I remember the first couple weeks felt like I was driving a semi and then it started to feel normal. Then switching from the pickup to the Beemer was an even crazier transition...
