But it wouldn't be a F-150, which appears to be the key bit. On the other hand, you're not wrong about its capabilities. And honestly, if it's just groceries, one could easily go for a used car or hatchback.

There have been many reports of ISPs overwriting ads and adding content to non-https content. Also bundled content on mobile providers not counting against caps, etc. Many also lie on speedtests, though I don't know if that counts.
