A white van, an orange vest, a hard hat and a clipboard, and you could go anywhere short of a military base without being bothered.

I understand in Bahston “wicked” is an adverb, not an adjective. So something is wicked cool, not wicked.  But I’ve never been there so maybe a Bahston native can confirm or correct me.

“Never drive the vehicle with the tailgate hatch open.”  Probably to avoid sucking exhaust fumes into the car.

That looks more stressful than just driving.  So what is the point?

Anyone driving so aggressively on the road that they need 19" tires is a menace.

Either the cheaper one is an outlier, or this isn’t a good deal.  One data point isn’t sufficient, but at best it casts doubt on this example.

By highway, I’m primarily meaning interstate use where the speeds are 65+.

Sorry that you can’t handle information presented in an entertaining format.  Choose whatever helmet you want though.

To each his own, but if I’m buying a fun car and can’t afford to drive it as much as I want due to fear of depreciation, IMO that means I can’t afford that car and I will buy something cheaper that I can afford to drive. If that means a clapped out 25 year old Miata, so be it. I’d rather have something I can drive…

Does it though?

Ford’s web site is not particularly relevant to research a truck produced in 2004.  Either Ford has changed their engine offerings in the last 17 years, or someone swapped in a different engine to that truck.  I have no idea which is the case.

Because I’ll definitely replace it regularly if I can get one for $10 wholesale.

You should watch this before using a DOT-only helmet.

If vans are like earthworms, both halves will grow a new back.

Ugh, I just don’t use that one because I would have to look it up and think about it for a couple of minutes every time. “For all intensive purposes” that phrase doesn’t exist to me.

If you ever meet one of these people, kindly give them a swirlie.

“Case in point”.  It’s not a case and a point, it’s a case that makes your point.

They are both perfectly cromulent.

Doesn’t sound like it’s phase-change cooled, and only good up to 500 amps.

If that is the coolant used, yes.
