So I was in Newington on Wednesday and guess what I saw pulling into the DOT!
 P.S. I stopped at Hoffman's as well. Parking was adequate, prices were not.  " /> " /> " />  |

That's infuriating. I can't tell you how badly a hate the fact that our government encourages the use of these things by our local police departments. |

Hey if it makes the man feel better about himself driving the big truck then who cares.
If my town had twenty of those then I would be concerned. Wait until the few out there break down and need parts or are involved in a traffic accident or town budgets officials shit a brick when they see the maintenance bills for those turds. If you told me one was coming to my house full of swat to arrest me I would be concerned. If you told me 20 of those were roaming the state to confiscate everyone's firearms I would laugh my ass off. Do you know how much heavy construction equipment is lying around this state?

It's the same fight as our gun rights, they will keep taking little pieces of our cake until we have an empty plate.

I like that, finally one of the PDs not wasting money to paint the fuckin thing black. Just slap letters on it and call it a day.
What's the story with these things, they were built for Iraq but never made it there or afghan? Was there a better designe that the military went for and decided to not even bother shipping these? Wait...... OP..... Were you texting or operating a phone in a non hands free way while driving? |

I believe the made it to both countries, albeit late in the game. Now they have a ton of surplus ones that came back and no need for them. They are giving them to local municipalities free of charge. No of course not. That was Jake Gyllenhaal, he rides around with me waiting for crime to happen so we can film it. |

Front rubber tires. Only two. Seem pretty open to me. Might be hard to turn at 50,000+ pound vehicle on rims.
Lots of potholes these days. I did clock one at 70 mph on 91 a few months ago up near the airport. Seemed a bit retarded to be going that fast. |

Maybe if you and your friends stuck a few coins in the tire treads you could make it explode and send metal flying everywhere like you did with the escalators. |

I bet snowstorms and the realities of maintenance will take care of the MRAP's quicker than anything else. Of course it must be nice when you can write checks for useless big toys with other people's money.

I haven't been in one of those but the ones I have been in all seemed to be pretty quick. Only the old hummers with the add on armor kits were really sketchy at high speeds.

That does seems a bit exessive in an mrap! Even without the armor weight. Especially when I've been sternly warned that 83 isn't safe in a MB E550. 
He was probably too busy playing angry birds to notice the speed
