It was rented as well

Turo. I still can't wrap my head around renting out my personal car to strangers. I guess it usually works out though. My next door neighbor had a really nice Jag sports sedan he rented through Turo. I think he is still tied up in court after nearly a year trying to get money from the person who "rented" it and then totaled it.

I don't think the owner is going to get his F150s value back.

I guess Joe Bob's rental cars made it to the internet.

Yeah, there's no way I'd rent my personal vehicles to strangers. I'd never heard of Turo, so I hit the website, and some of these "hosts" have multiple vehicles. Like this guy who comes off as an AirBnB type guy, but he lists like 40 different cars.

Before we got the CX-9 we considered a CX-7 but the seller was a too proud of it, and apparently was going to rent it out on Turo.

Inside the Cybertruck. Note the fuel cans
The sides of the CT held up and appear to have directed most of the blast upwards. Think they may have picked the wrong vehicle for this. Didn't even break the lobby's glass doors

Both serve in the Army at the same base
Both rented all electric vehicles from the same company
Both either tried (NO) or did ( Vegas) blow them up on the same day.

Wondering what else will come up either that or one heck of a coincidence

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

Sorry for the stinky reddit link, but it's the only place I saw this video of the NOLA guy. It's certainly food for thought on how well an "extremist terrorist" can blend into US society.

That's proof positive that it was a mostly peaceful fireworks display, not a terrorist attack.

NO guy posted pledging allegiance to ISIS last summer
You would think that would set off alarm bells but I guess the FBI was too busy going after white "supremacists" to notice

Hmmm
Could he have let the CT filled up with flumes from the fuel cans and then the guns could have set it off?
Or maybe something as simple as lit a fuse then bang

Lots of things could have happened, I guess.

Without getting too tinfoil-y, I find it stretches credibility that an E8 in 10th SFG and spent his whole career operational in the SF, and that wanted to make a VBIED, made that particular VBIED.  Something is very weird in Vegas.  Again*

*IDGAF how many news anchors want to opine on echos bouncing around the Strip, I know what an M240 sounds like.

About that, some are suggesting someone could have shot him then commanded the car to drive itself there.

Family of accused Trump hotel bomber Matthew Liveslberger, described as a “big Trump supporter,” questions the incident. His uncle, noting Matthew’s Special Forces background and patriotism, claims it doesn’t add up, arguing he had the skills to create a more sophisticated device if he truly intended harm.
