Honestly, I'm shocked it could get going that fast.

Imagine being the guy in the Mustang watching a USPS van keep up with you.

He had a 4 cylinder, he should have had no surprise.

[-] nickmc@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Something, something, average day for a mustang driver.

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 44 points 1 month ago

It was the Metris van, not the LLV. Thats how she was able to get it more than 55mph.

I've driven an LLV on the highway (had no choice on my old route) and even at 55 it's terrifying. Everything rattles, the motor screams and the steering wheel is going all over the place.

[-] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 month ago

That certainly clears it up lol The photo was deceiving.

[-] Naboo_calls_for_aid@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago

Can confirm, got on the highway in an LLV once, was sure I was going to die, never again.

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah I was about to ask, I thought those goddamn things were 4 speeds or something lol

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

3 speed transmission actually, so even worse lol

Give this guy a promotion.

If cops are allowed to go 105, USPS drivers absolutely should, they have a much more dangerous and socially valuable job.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Fuck yeah. Let's get FedEx and UPS too. DHL can be monitoring the police scanner.

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I'm sorry but there ain't no fucking way a uses jeep hit 105. Nah

the grumman mail cat. made by the same folks who made the f14.

[-] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Not exactly. The body is built by Grumman, the mechanicals are by GM and based on the S10.

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Monica told him he could have all of this if he wins.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago
