Oh well, I can still confuse civilians, I guess LMAO... The whole solidarity thing would've been a nice bonus when I hammer it through the [not-so] Great Plains (the most boring-est drive I've ever driven from Boise to Des Moines, and yes, I know there's no such word), but oh well.
But then again I got an Explorer for its comfort, decent power, technology, fold-flat seats,
good reviews on AWD technology short of Subaru, and well: I'm currently an RF Engineer, and I figured it'd be a lot more official-looking if I am auditing cell towers in a vehicle known to be a workhorse than say, a Camry or Subie Outback, but not as bland/over-the-top utilitarian and not personal vehicle-friendly like a Chevy Express or Ram ProMaster (sounds like a bad porno name)... I'm also sure I'd have a lot less people prying into what I'm doing if I drove something more official-looking, which I'd be happy not getting interrupted every 10 minutes by some well-meaning people thinking that I'm stranded or even thinking I'm trespassing on their property while I'm on a public street
