On the contrary: that rear axle assembly is a time bomb, with axle tramp lighting the fuse.

Those military secrets dont sell themselves....

Car wash, nail salon, that sort of thing?

Yeah, but he’s also in the AF and there’s a possibility this could result in a letter of reprimand going into his file as a departure from good military bearing/professionalism.

His spouse makes the big bucks.

You don’t have to put your beer down that you’re holding while turning.

My guess would be that he does have LEO friends who are happy to just not ticket him for this, but officially claiming they shut down a road for a private citizen to speed around recklessly on is too far for them to go without drawing the ire of real criticism and discipline. He was probably hoping they would back his…

“Nice try buttercup.”

Is anyone else a bit suspicious of someone buying a Cybertruck on an O-3's salary?

Man. That dealer was working extra hard to protect us from the predatory manufacturer!

I give you Sheehy Lexus in Annapolis, MD... Last week my mother went looking for an RX350h and they flat out refused to remove the charge. The reasoning “Well, it’s already on the car!”

This is the important thing here.

Sometimes this site makes me want to be mean.

The USA is huge and spread out, and we drive EVERYWHERE. “How far can I go?” is inherently more simple and relatable than “How much will I consume?”

This framing plays on a fallacy of its own, the false analogy. Presenting economy numbers is for the purpose of comparing one car against another, not for comparing one replacement scenario against another completely different replacement scenario.

Why would you ask for two figures that have zero to do with vehicle efficiency under an article about how replacing the most visible figure used to signify vehicle efficiency with another one would improve informed purchasing and policy decision making?
