Tow or just throw a stream of boxes out the back if you’re not going too fast.

A towed target is common. Also sometimes a remote control target. Some get fancy with maneuvering or countermeasures and the like.

For navies on a budget, a glorified buoy or ballon that has no real propulsion but still has gunners thinking about lead if their platform is moving.

One of my friends’ dads accidentally invaded Iran with a destroyer in the late 80’s or early 90’s. He was chasing some oil smuggling boat or some such and whoops, crossed into their waters.

Remember when AI had a threat where a guy was rebuilding a Mustang Mach 1 or something, and then it was revealed he was posting basically the same thread except absurdly racist on a white supremacy forum (chimpout or something?), and then when he got called out and abandoned the thread, a bunch of AI posters were pissed because now they didn't get to follow his Mustang rebuild?

Good times.

This is 100% true.

I just sold my 2012 and bought a 95 Suburban with almost 250,000 miles because I want something more reliable.

I drove my 2008 2-door to and from AK, from NC. The only thing that beats that for catastrophically dumb ideas may actually be when I joined the army, also in 2008.

They are workhorses, but most of them still on the road are structural rust with 300k+ miles or have been hosed six ways to Sunday by someone trying to make a 'rock crawler' with no idea what suspension geometry is.

Yeah, nah. I called someone out for being racist and had someone try to dox me, to which the mod at the time said "yeah, well, don't call it out, you're pretty left" like that was an excuse.

This was my experience when I was looking for one to buy about 10 years ago. I figured that the best bet was to find one that a grandpa in the southwest drove gently, but that's a diamond in the rough.
