To get a roof rack installed on my car would be over $1000. I checked.

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.

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.
