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?"

Tassos My 1991 accord was better than anything any other commenter could hope to drive between 1995 and 2016. I DONATED it when it was ready to be scrapped to show the ACTUALLY WEALTHY people in my area that, I too, can afford to give back to the community. IM AGAINST SOCIAL PROGRAMS THOUGH BECAUSE THEY HELP PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT ME.
Tassos Yeah I’d buy this. Its condition is in line with my own failing cognitive and physical abilities.
Varezhka $35k, 184hp, and 25mpg EPA combined. With modern VW reliability and old school Hyundai level interior. I think I will take a CX-50, thank you very much.
Canam23 A good friend and his wife had one of these, and it ate them out of house and home. One major repair after another with no end in sight. I helped them unload it and put her in a Hyundai Vera Cruz, they put 200K miles on that with no problems.
Mister Unless you are a factory-trained Volkswagen technician, there is so much *nope* in this car that I don't even know where to begin.
