Sharing it with everyone is probably going to get you banned from getting quarterly updates, as there's strings attached. Though I do wonder just how they keep track. Are they fingerprinting the data somehow? Does that make the dataset less useful?

		One person per quarter I suppose.

The data does change though, and I wouldn't be surprised if at this boutique subscription pricing it's individually fingerprinted

I vote you pay for it and share it with us for free.

(Or start a gofundme for it.)

You wouldn't steal from the post office would you?

You especially wouldn't download one of those old postal vehicles.

I legit tried to get one of those new. They're practically indestructible and have shit tons of storage. They would be awesome get arounds on the farm. If they were AWD or 4wd, I would give my left leg for it.

Sadly, you cannot, from what I can tell.

Those old postal vehicles were made from the GM parts bin with a custom shell built to spec, though most of them were from the S-10 platform. They are not indestructible, the USPS started scrambling to buy COTS vehicles while the NGDV was in development.

The S-10 itself is a really good farm truck though, so I'd keep your eyes on the market for one. Or maybe the equivalent Ford one.

		Old Toyotas are indestructible as well and oem parts are readily available.

I'd buy one. USPS could get into the large storage and moving business.

I'd take one of the old right-hand-drive two-door jeeps in a second, though.
