You’re going to shit your pants when you learn what rental cars are.

Yeah, let’s be honest, many workers are taking the Metro, like they were before they were allowed to work remotely. To your point, there’s a station right near the Navy Yard.

Where did they park pre COVID? The Federal Government continued to pay for internet, office space and office consumables during work from home. Some workers have been working two jobs from home. Variety of news articles have highlighted Federal workers and others in tech industry with 2nd and 3rd jobs that typically…

It’s mid-engine now. Cooling shouldn’t be as big of a deal. There’s plenty of room for radiators up front. 

the idea would be to contain the carnage and protect the innocent.  if you just have one police officer follow him around nobody is stopping him from doing god knows what. 

Today I learned a skid steer is $100k WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. Like big backhoe or something sure that tiny little thing GTFO

7 is more than a few hours. Along with the fact that this started because he tried to ram a pedestrian. Just let him keep cruising! Are you serious?

In all honesty though, I still don’t know what all this efficient, not efficiency means. Did the truck go 507 miles? Yes? it’s sufficient enough. I mean idk it just seems like nitpicking for something you won’t notice in the real world as you’ll be paying what like 20 bucks a week if you charge at home vs gas? I…

The run of the mill fire department in most cities does very little dangerous firefighting. Movies like backdraft were fantastic propaganda. Not stumping for cops, just would be curious what stats indicate they should be higher on the pay scale (who knows, I could be wrong).

Interesting context here - the newer presidential vehicle is kept pretty secret in terms of armor and technology for the sake of security. Selling this one means the new one is substantially different, to the extent that they don’t really care if someone reverse-engineers anything on this one because it doesn’t apply…

just don’t get busy with a blacklight or anything...

Well to be fair based on inflation from 2004 to 2024 this is a bit of a bargain, $7500 in 04 is about $12,500 in 2024 dollars.

It looks like it’s giving birth to a 997, which coincidentally you could have bought instead for the same money (and would probably be a better move)

Better if you get one in all black...Man this is a pretty vehicle with a tiny bit of aftermarket styling

Problem is, you’d occasionally have to look at the back end of the thing

The problem with trains is their path is so unpredictable, so often swerving at random.

“The driver then drove around the gates”

Families need closure in terms of the “what” and the “why” of the incident. It hasn’t been about the hopes of recovering remains for a decade.

The beacon is dead, yes. The actual data on the FDR and CVR may very well be recoverable, as those things are built to a degree that could impress the nuclear material transport cask guys.
