I have had this post in the works for a while now and I finally thought it was time to get it out here. This post contains pictures of some of the interesting vehicles that I have come across so far in my time in Norway. I took some of these pictures to show how things are the same and also to show how they are different.
Some things that are the same would include:
* Harleys are a very popular motorcycle here
* People with families like to drive minivans
* People do like to drive cars that are similar in size to what we have in the U.S…. they are not all micro machines
* The hells angels are in Trondheim
* People like to cruise in their classic cars. These are mostly American, but, there are some old Volvos and Opels around too
Some things that are different:
* Even the American vehicles have different available options, for example, a diesel powered Chrysler minivan or a Chrysler minivan with a 5 speed manual transmission. Neither have been offered in the U.S. to my knowledge
* Some people drive extremely small cars
* There are small wooden ferry boats that cross the narrow part of the harbor between two or three different restaurants/pubs
* Gas costs around $10.02 per gallon
* There is a sweet bike lift in old town for people to use. You put in your money and a small metal peddle comes out of the dispenser. While sitting on your bike you then place your foot against the peddle and get pushed up the steep hill. This is a beast of a hill so it might come in handy. I haven’t seen any one use it yet though.
