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.

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

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

[-] nickmc@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Something, something, average day for a mustang driver.

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

That certainly clears it up lol The photo was deceiving.

[-] Naboo_calls_for_aid@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 months 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 3 months ago

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

[-] BigDaddySlim@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

3 speed transmission actually, so even worse lol

[-] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 31 points 3 months ago

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 3 months ago

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

[-] _sideffect@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Our packages will actually arrive on time!

[-] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

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

[-] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

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

[-] JamesTBagg@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Looks like he finally... went postal

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

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago
