And $23K is probably the 2WD version!

If the 2L turbo is an option, it’s very, quick!  Zero to sixty in 6 seconds...

The smallest motor I own is in my excuvator  at 5.9 L. Only 205 hp, but 550 ftlbs of torque.

I do need  to buy a generator as they all went away when i sold the biz.   Not needed one yet as my truck has a under hood unit.  That works just fine for what i need at the moment.

TAB's comment reminded me of a question I recently had.
Why , when they are looking for a murder victim do they always bring in an excavator ?
They got planted by a guy with a shovel, how deep do they think he went ?      ;D

Speed would be one reason.  But also if they're not 100% sure "where" they might have to more digging than just straight down.

Plus if I were digging up something I wasn't sure about the condition of, I'd dig around to isolate it then slowly remove the dirt directly on top of it. Sort of archaeology style.  Might be evidence on top.

 But, hey, all I know about it is what I see on TV shows.

A really bad 4 letter word.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
-William Pitt, British Prime-Minister (1759-1806)

Regulations.....

At a place I worked I  noticed that in the plant, they had 2  mounting brackets  for each  fire extinguisher.

I ask why and was  told that the bottom one was for the OSHA inspection that required a low mounting so the extinguisher would not be a hazard at head  level.

The high one was for the Fire  Marshal who required they be mounted high so that they would be easy to spot and access if needed  for a fire.

Switched which one  was used depending upon who was coming to inspect.


 
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

  i have installed 2 sets of hinges on restaurants, so they could swap the doors from in swing to out swing or vv.   Department of health said one way, the fire marshal said the other way.

Edit, dual swing doors were not allowed
