“One owner’s engine failed after spending a couple of hours plowing through sand dunes.”

That’s an interesting way to look at it. And you may be right.

“Yes, salespeople as they generally exist suck, but lots of people don’t fit into your archetype either of actually knowing a ton about the super expensive object they’re buying.” 

I was ready to mash the nice price button...

It’s funny...I was looking and thinking the price was ok-ish. It’s a high price but the cars fairly straight and you don’t see many that haven’t been pep boy’d into oblivion.

I know times are changing and prices are nuts.

Hell, you are in Chicago, what do you need a performance car for?

I have and do...When we go on business trips most people assume I am the owner.

As a tall broad shouldered man, I sort of agree with you...But...Being tall is like a lottery ticket. I keep getting promoted and asked important questions and handed all sorts of perks by all the people that have been conditioned by thousands of years of evolution to have the false belief that the big tall guy is on…

I particularly love the 18wheeler wheel left to turn right move.  

Anecdotal evidence:

Police don’t shoot locks. That’s a movie thing. They have breaching tools for various situations from handheld rams to lock core breakers and or battery powered grinders.

More watch is wreck your departure angle and make it that much harder to clean those crazy big speed bumps at the mall.

You don’t. This is a minivan and pictures of a shockingly clean mountaineer with an insanely clean rope will not change that. The wheelbase was already way way way too long for serious offroading. You can’t fight physics.

If you are trying to be agreeable never start with....

Interesting take. Though it doesn’t defeat my argument against the concept that that the worst civilians are not likely to be worse people than the worst police.

“Yes the police definitely didn’t handle this situation well, but if they weren’t there at all, how would this have ended?”

No…It’s serious. The weight of distance is serious business. I once drove 47000 kilograms in a year and had no idea how to convert it to yards because my leg was broken and my strides were less than my usual distance. Plus I gained weight (about three meters/72 lbs) and had probation issues and moved up to a size…

It’s not that hard…

“False Flag!!!”
