This has to do with cars because...they used a Penske truck? You’re not even trying on this one.
Their idea of IEDs could be anything from sparklers still in the packaging to actual IEDs, though.
These are the same kind of people that say a bag of skittles are a lethal projectile weapon.
A growing young family without the means to spend at least $30k for a three row vehicle for starters. This at least comes with a warranty; other cars in this price range will not. Said family will not be in a good position to shell out $500 for an unexpected repair.

My wife drives a $3500 Honda Odyssey and I commute on a $1500 Suzuki GSF600 Bandit. Affordable and reliable. I don’t care what anybody drives, but anyone with nicer cars than mine needs to keep their hands out of my wallet.

Is it bad that I still think those 80s grids are fucking rad?
yes and no. i’ve seen lots of those videos too but remember there are about 350M people in this country. how many interactions DON’T end up with some cop being an asshole? lots.
“there are no real automotive experts on the staff.”
This is just silly.
you’re a crazy person and that’s why we love you
