      would be over $1000.

      How?

      on my car

      Although maybe your car doesn’t have rack mounts from factory. For lada it’s about 20€ and tightening few bolts.

      You can’t make this argument while also stating in other comments that a truck is too expensive.

        I’m not arguing that. You have a fair point.

        But my argument about a use case for a truck isn’t about MY truck (I don’t have one), it was merely about the valid use for owning a truck.

        I’m getting by right now by wrecking the inside of my car (it’s already done). I looked at getting a roof rack, but the quote I got was around $1400. But that only would help with getting new drywall. Not broken up garbage drywall, and wouldn’t help with bags of garbage.

          I know you don’t have a truck. As I said, I read your comments.

          I still don’t understand your other issues. They seem like they’d be solved with a tarp and good garbage bags (that keep smells contained). I haul garbage and yard waste all the time in my Golf.

          A truck wouldn’t be a panacea for your issues either. Truck beds also get scratched up and if you’re responsible you’d have to secure your loads.

            I’m not getting a truck. I’m not in the market for a truck. All I said was “here’s a good use case for a truck”. I’m not looking for suggestions or help. This wasn’t meant to be a round table discussion to fix my predicament.

            It was just a counterpoint to “all trucks are stupid”.

              All I said was “here’s a good use case for a truck”.

              And all I said was it’s not a good use case for a truck. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
