In most states anything under 26,000 lbs. doesn’t require any special license (which includes most box trucks), and as mentioned by BunkyTheMelon in many states you can also drive a vehicle registered as an “RV” regardless of size/weight on a “normal” class C license as well

While movies often take a bit of “artistic license”. A 1971 Plymouth Valiant with a slant-6 making somewhere between 101hp and 145hp (depending on which displacement it was), 4 wheel drum brakes, and a suspension that is slightly more technically advanced than an oxcart not being able to outrun a semi is certainly a…

In police use with a ton of idling the Hemis tend to “eat” cams (sometimes in civilian use too), and the Hemi being a “cam in block” engine which also requires pulling the heads to remove the lifters, changing a cam is a pretty big job (not to mention the possibility of the metal shavings from the cam damaging other…

The “new” (2003+) Chrysler/Dodge Hemi’s have 16 spark plugs (2 per cylinder).

Absolutely nothing. I honestly don’t give a rats behind about the “future of humanity”, It will be a miracle if humanity makes it the next hundred years without sending itself “back to the stone age” with a nuclear war, or a “real” pandemic (20%+ mortality rate) wipes out a large par of society anyway so why should we…

DeSantis was born Sept. 14, 1978 so he officially missed being a “millennial” by a little over two years. (“millennial” generally being defined as birth years 1981-1996, though some claim 1980-2000, but in either case DeSantis  predates it, though just barely).

The worst from an ownership perspective was the infamous Chrysler 2.7L V6. While I never had the dreaded “oil-sludge” issue that many did (I always changed oil every 5k miles or sooner with full-synthetic), but it was an unreliable turd in general and just about every repair was more expensive than it should be (from…

X2, while the SS United States looks like hell since it hasn’t had a paint job in 40+ years, its hull is actually in much better shape (being in the fresh-water Delaware river certainly helps) than the Queen Mary (which looks “ok” cosmetically but that is largely paint and putty slapped over major structural corrosion)…

When the ship was built, it was largely “factory-like” (relatively low-skilled/wage) ship yard labor and mass produced parts, 87 years later restoration will take specially skilled (i.e. much more expensive) labor (even once common jobs like riveters, are now “specialty” skills) and many parts are no longer available…

Evergreen Marine is the name of the shipping company, Ever Given is the name of the specific ship.

While bombing it externally likely wouldn’t work for the reason you mentioned, packing it full of explosives and detonating should do the trick. Just look at what was (or rather wasn’t) left of the SS Mont Blanc and SS Grandcamp in the Halifax and Texas City explosions.

Geez, the scrap metal thieves are getting ridiculous these days.

^This, one of the worst winter traffic jams I ended up in, was me an a couple dozen other cars stuck behind someone in an Audi S4 “Quattro” with four nearly bald summer tires trying to go up a mild hill (the lane the plow cleared was just wide enough for one vehicle with deep snow banks on either side so no one could…

X2, I’m not sure how on earth the big wigs at Boeing thought “we just bought a competitor that was near bankruptcy, lets keep a bunch of their executives on” was a good idea.

Since the statute of limitations expired many years ago....

... and your point is?

I’ve also been partial to the 1970-1972 Buick Electra 225:

You do know it was a false positive right???
