It seems like most of the current crop of late-night comedians get off on ridiculing any political position other than hard core progressives… and, of course, Islamists. Gee, given how socially conservative most Islamists are (as in 6th century) and how totalitarian their sharia law is, I’m surprised the comedians don’t find anything to mock about them.
Most comedians are lazy cowards. They pick on the lowest hanging fruit that won’t put them at personal risk.

I’m not saying I disagree but I think it goes beyond being lazy cowards. After all, have you seen the Hildebeast? She’s comedy gold waiting to happen… and that’s without adding Bill into the mix… Apparently, they can resist a twofer.
The only comedy I’ve seen about the Dems was the Bad Lipreading video from their Convention… it is pretty good.

“given how socially conservative most Islamists are (as in 6th century) and how totalitarian their sharia law is, I’m surprised the comedians don’t find anything to mock about them.”
But on the other hand conservatives of any stripe are unlikely to fly airliners full of people into skyscrapers or important goverment buildings.
Chris, I’ve gotta tell you, I’m glad that you’re storytelling again. I actually enjoy the DBD story more than the DBD cheesecake. Maybe that makes me weird, but I’d rather see what’s coming up than what comes up.
Okay, bad joke. Sorry. Shutting up now.
And haven’t we seen that blue van before?
Okay, now I’m shutting up.
I mean it this time.

“Progressives fuck up EVERYTHING. . . .doing EXACTLY what they accuse everyone else of. . . . ”
It’s a psychological condition known as “projection”.
And there are SO many Libtards with SO much projection, you could collect them (see what I did there?) and use them to show a three reel 70mm movie at the drive in.

That year would have had either a 272 or a 312 Y block if still stock engine.
Probably not though…… Anyone else remember a supercharger going on the old Ford?
I seem to remember Sam doing some serious upgrades when the Ford first showed up.

Didn’t need a charger. Roots type and GM’ie blowers were around. But, the 391 was a simple install, and opened up, etc. made it quite good. A best friend went through the 67 Shelby 427, blew it up and built another one, over 500cu with help of another friend that built drag engines for sale. Hatched that. Then they went to the 391 truck block. Built a few they sold over 500 hp.
Okay, one more comment. Sam is in the left lane, and the Vroom is the sound I would expect her pickup to make.
It appears that the van has not been following her, instead she caught up with and passed it.
Of course, that doesn’t rule out a road rage reaction from a vanweenie who can’t stand to be passed!
Or gets offended by women drivers.
Or women not wearing burkahs.
Or a van full of illegals.

The only safe data is in a non-net connected system aka a locked drawer in some small office with a big file room attached. Might find the Ark in there somewhere and the little gray guys from Roswell. Script kiddies at it again.

That classic truck probably outweighs the SUV trying to do the pit maneuver on it. It would still be possible to pull it off but I’d bet the SUV takes more damage than the pickup.
I once came upon an accident where a someone in a big SUV attempted to bully someone driving a classic 1959 Chevy. I learned how to drive in a 59 and they do not stop on a dime like modern cars do.
The results; The 59 Chevy had very,very minor damage to it’s front bumper. The SUV rolled over and was resting on it’s side. The owner of the 59 Chevy looked very angry. It looked like he’d done quite a bit of restoration work on it before the accident.
The PITT maneuver depends on the weight of the front of aggressor vehicle against the weight of the rear of the target vehicle. The technique is finesse, not brute force.
You pull up so that the nose of your vehicle is aligned with, and close to, the rear of your target and shove it over, forcing it into a spin and probably off the road.
If you try to brute-force it and slam them together, you both will lose control.
If the van driver knows how to do it, and Sam cannot evade, a PITT maneuver would probably succeed.

Hmmmm, is a PITT more or less successful against non-power steering?

Generally more because PS has faster response and requires less muscle on the driver’s part.
BTW, for the “attacker”, a corner ram is safer overall than the shoulder ram as no lateral motion is required.

I first recall seeing that maneuver when i was about 16 and a Falcon almost cut me off and then cut someone else off past the top of the bridge. The Falcon did the classic move to in front of the other car and then caught the bridge guardrail and rolled over upside down into and under the zero visibility water with the doors crushed shut and only the front windows open. Me and another guy couldn’t find him in the front or back seat. The fire truck pulled the Falcon in and they found him on the back window ledge.
The traffic investigator knew nothing about the effects I described. I explained the basic physics to him. He later taught classes on doing that maneuver. The net changes. The references I found the last time I searched this are gone. From what is there now, maybe the Germans and Secret Service were using that maneuver before then.
Believe what you see and know, no matter what any expert ike a traffic investigator says. I told him that likely any car could be stopped like that. The mass and physics would always determine the results. If you are here, you are likely more competent than most. Believe in yourselves.
Sam can handle it if it is something, and not just her being revved up and speeding.
It is not just progressives that do that projecting. It is a common act of people who are working hard to screw you in all of the wrong ways. Beware those people.

Com’on Guys! Just watch NASCAR. Yes, at their speed even the air flow can move the other car. A slight, light, corner tap can move the other car easy. I used race and have seen it happen even below 100mph. Traction, momentum, Physics! it works.

Don’t like the looks of the following vehicle. PIT maneuver?
Maybe Sam will regain situational awareness. We already know she can drive.

I hope Sam is pissed enough to pay attention. If the blue van does try a pit, the terrain may allow for an escape move.
