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.

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.

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

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.

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

Grumman probably didn’t even know it could go that fast.
