it's not just abandon your car buy the side of the road, you then have to go buy a new one, but keep paying insurance on the old one of the manufacturer will come by and fine you, and if you don't pay, begin ceasing your stuff and inform you you can never go anywhere they own ever again.

if you DO leave, remember, you still have to pay your taxes to Uncle Sam, IN ADDITION to the taxes you pay to wherever you go, the government will continue to monitor your money, and fine you if you break any US financial laws while you are anywhere else. If you were to say open a British tax free savings account, that will be taxed at about 40%

Oh and if you have a kid, because you are an American, your child is also an American, and despite never having been to America, will owe America taxes. Want to not be American anymore? That literally costs ATLEAST in excess of $2000 on top of whatever fines and fees to the IRS you have accrued from breaking laws that are not told to you regarding where you can have money and how much. Those fines are usually 10k to start with. It's also a crime to renounce citizenship because of taxes. Should you not pay these fines and fees, you become a criminal.

The only other country to do this is Eritrea, and it caught world wide flack for it.

You were born or became American. It's a literal preexisting condition.

Also it's made by Oshkosh, who make fucking bad-ass trucks in general. If it stands up to the same ridiculous punishment that the Gruman LLV does then it will be a great fit for most urban and suburban routes. I expect the LLVs will still be needed for delivery out to dirt road farms but yeah.

The fat electrician did a good piece on the Gruman LLV or as he calls it "the mailcat"

The Next Generation Delivery Vehicle that the USPS ordered is legit the most fucked up thing you'll ever see in your life.

Considering that Bantam PA set a guiness world record for the longest parade of jeeps at the annual jeep heritage festival in 2015 I doubt that.

Jeep people that care about the brand tend to REALLY be jeep people. My local Pub is a part of Recon Brewing. It is named after the original name of the prototype of the Jeep, originally the Bantam Reconnaissance Car. The interior of all their locations are covered in jeep memorabilia. So no. There are people thar have thought more about jeep than that since ww2

Side note. A part of me wishes to start a franchise of Recon in little Tokyo but instead of old Willie's/Ford/Jeep stuff on the walls, have it be old Land Cruisers if you don't know why bel9w are a 1959 CJ3B vs a 1959 FJ-25

"The Jeep"

Elaine buys a Jeep and hates other Jeep owners giving her rubber ducks. Kramer tries to make a new gimmick to replace the ducks. George starts looking at Jeeps but everyone he talks to about it tells him they can't ever see him driving a Jeep. Jerry accidentally ends up the enemy of a local gang of Jeep drivers when they overhear him calling them "stupid and impractical" in a city like New York in an attempt to talk George out of buying one.

I think this episode would be the most anyone has thought about Jeeps since the end of WW2.

Correction from a person who actually is both an advocate of improving public transport and is also into automotive stuff

Lifted Trucks and vehicles in general have two subgroups that the breeds fall into.

The "sportsman's" species can be seen above. Having been bred as responsibly as possible to facilitate the exploration of America's vast expanses by their breeders, unfortunately, they are having issues with their genetic lines resulting in oversizing and irresponsible owners have been known to bring them deep into cities where they lack the space to exercise properly by climbing large obstacles to reach remote locations carrying ample equipment to spent a long time in nature. It's when they are not in suitable environments that these trucks, become aggressive towards the humans around them.

Then we have the truly fucked up little guys of lifted trucks... Mall Crawlers.

This is what happens when an indoor person attempts to breed a sportsman's truck. It ends up so heavy with a diff so unlocked that it can't even handle running around in the grass. They become defensive, demanding far too much space in an area and often have been actively bred to suffer diseases of their DEFgestive system.

It's criminal... and these... TRUELY nobody likes except for the criminal that brought it into the world to pointlessly use resources before it eventually dies. From its owners shitty driving.

The American dream isn't the house and spouse and 2.5 kids and a dog. That's just a generic dream of middle class adequately. You can have that anywhere.

No, the specific American dream is to drive a lifted pickup through the pearly gates, flatten an angel or two, then park on the stairs to God's palace, walk up to God and shoot them in the head with a Colt 1911.

"In God We Trust"? Not anymore. They're dead. We trust in lead and gasoline.

Figured I'd throw my city into the mix

Pittsburgh was once so dark a city that our street lamps were still on to light the street at 10am even well into the 40s.
