what s wrong with this picture stow n go edition

Why do drug smugglers use Chrysler’s patented Stow ‘N Go storage system to smuggle $100k worth of marijuana across the Mexican border? Because they can. Or, because Wieden + Kennedy have another Caravan ad to make. But this is hardly the most entertaining shot from the LA Times’ gallery of “Bizarre Border Busts” [Hat Tip: Richard Chen]. No, you’ll have to hit the jump for that one…

#10. Ford Super Duty w/ bales of weed in the back. "Ford Super Duty: - Bringin' home the bacon!" - Payload Re-defined!" - preferred by 4 out of 5 DEA agents!" BTW, one of the photos, perhaps #5, says woman behind side-panel ... this is incorrect ... look again, and you will see she was concealed between the IP and the firewall! (note the shifter in lower left of photo.)

"Why do drug smugglers use Chrysler’s patented Stow ‘N Go storage system to smuggle $100k worth of marijuana across the Mexican border?" Apparently not such a good idea since they got busted. (Wouldn't this be easy for a drug sniffing dog to locate?)

  Because they can.
  
  Click the link. In this context, it all suddenly makes sense.

  What's up with all that "Why do birds sing in the morning?" hooey? "Because they can" is not the answer to the question above, it's the punchline to the old joke: "Why do dogs lick their balls?"

Teddyc73 Doesn't matter, out of control Democrats will still do everything they can to force us to drive them.
Teddyc73 Look at that dreary lifeless color scheme. The dull grey and black wheels and trim is infecting the auto world like a disease. Americans are living in grey houses with grey interiors driving look a like boring grey cars with black interiors and working in grey buildings with grey interiors. America is turning into a living black and white movie.
Jalop1991 take longer than expected.Uh-huh. Gotcha. Next step: acknowledging that the fantasies of 2020 were indeed fantasies, and "longer than expected" is 2024 code word for "not gonna happen at all".But we can't actually say that, right? It's like COVID. You remember that, don't you? That thing that was going to kill the entire planet unless you all were good little boys and girls and strapped yourself into your living room and never left, just like the government told you to do. That thing you're now completely ignoring, and will now deny publicly that you ever agreed with the government about.Take your "EV-only as of 2025" cards from 2020 and put them in the same file with your COVID shot cards.

CanadaCraig My 2006 300C SRT8 weighs 4,100 lbs. The all-new 2024 Dodge Charge EV weighs 5,800 lbs. Would it not be fair to assume that in an accident the vehicles these new Chargers hit will suffer more damage? And perhaps kill more people?
