I always wanted an old crown vic...it can do almost anything for a car provided you have the right attachment. It can do PIT maneuvers w/o frame damage with a bullbar, it can tow, it can haul 6 people, it can take extreme abuse, it can haul an air conditioner in the trunk I think.

Admin? Hell no. I’m a civil engineer. I never landed the control center job...I was “transferred to it”. I originally helped with structural investigations and bridge research, but I ran outta work (engineering, but temp, but was unionized with 401k, really bizarre).

I did engineering for a DOT in the Midwest. My job was to provide engineering support to the traffic control centers (the people who would dispatch DOT maintenance crews to clean up crashes, send DOT patrol to assist stranded motorists (fix flats, stranded motorists on busy freeways are in extremely dangerous…

One time I accidently pulled someone over when working for a state DOT. I was inspecting electronic signs and when flicking on my safety lights and pulling over to inspect an upcoming sign the car in front of me freaked.

Not me, the other car. Some people are dumb or drunk enough to drive without headlights or 1 dim headlight on unlit roads. One time one of them tailgated me @70mph on US-127 @5 AM.

I’ll take them doing the high beams in rural areas versus not seeing me come the other way at all. One can compensate for looking at high beams by looking at the white line to your right on the road. You can’t compensate too well if the person can’t see and is going over the centerline.

AC also sucks.

I’m ok with the ORM-D being mixed with majority not ORM-D without Hazmat, just not like this where it might have been all ORM-D devices for the load.

You’re right. However you’d be surprised when truckloads of just ORM-D products arrive at the warehouse that I used to work at. The trucks being unloaded into the Hazmat warehouse (2 warehouses separated by a tunnel for forklifts) would have all ORM-D products inside...

The airbag detonators might have been classified as ORM-D making the hazmat unneeded technically.

Won’t work, we ripped up much of the rails decades ago.

Pay wise and when it comes to doing their job unless they work a large company and are home every night, they are all royally FUCKED!

Many states got rid of the truck speed limit because it was the differential of speed that was causing accidents. The speed the truck is going does not matter when a SUV cuts off a truck, brake checks it and promptly gets rear ended. The cutoff might not happen if there was less difference in speed.

I’m always gonna be pissed about not having an oil or transmission dipstick (not right now my car has an eCVT so no need).

This is real nice, but can it start in the winter when it’s -43 deg C? YES!!! (Eagle version shown) NPNP!

溺れていません好転? Google spit this one out...

While it had a TH400 turned sideways, I think the account I got based on the struggles of making a powerful FWD work at the time still stands. It wasn’t the first time that adapting the GM parts bin to something didn’t go smoothly.

Dude I totally know about the uselessness of SAE gross HP.

If someone could build me a new hybrid land yacht Olds 98 that could get 30+ mpg I will write the check right now!!!!

Maybe one day I’ll come back.
