I hope they do get the new cars. Just do to the fact that the whole fleet is junk, and they have over 100,000 miles on them. The paint is pealing off the silver cars to reveal that they are the old white ones. There has been other dept's that have had the same problem, I can't find the article, but It has been reported by dept's all over the country and by citizens who own these cars. (no not the whackers)

Sine loads his Jeep up and cuffs all the prisoners to the roll bar............ Just like the one at the booking desk. |
