Nevertheless, he lost to a write-in candidate, 95.4% to 4.6%. He wouldn’t have been able to serve anyway, because he was caught and convicted of the murder.

Nobody calls teenagers “infants” anymore, but most of us will continue to call them kids and teens, and they’ll still be too young to be cannon fodder, but this Republican wants to call them “youth workers” because, well, because “child labor” has nasty connotations.

Is 30 inches double the ground clearance? Yes it is.
That caused the undercarriage to pack a big ass chunks of hard pack snow causing collision impact on the single gear transmission. This is EXTREMLY likely to cause damage to any vehicle.
This is negligence and is not going to be covered by any cars’ warranty. It would be covered by insurance. If you have the means to buy a $85k vehicle and don’t insure it for comprehensive with towing that’s on you.
Meanwhile Rivian offered repair at no cost but expecting them to pay transport for your dumb ass decisions is out of line.
