8. "when we said watch what you say and do, we meant it"

Sue Pression, spokesperson for the Institute Against Free Speech and Progress stated that we need these in every community throughout America in order to protect them from any improvements in health care, education and other infrastructure which she stated were a waste of time and money. If people need those luxuries, they can pay for them themselves. These SmarTrucks are what we need to protect us citizens who live in multi-million dollar McMansions with security gates.




Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV's) can be controlled from the SMARTRUCK III's electronic interfaces. For example, ducted fan UAV, capable of vertical takeoff and landing and high speed horizontal flight, could offer a low-cost surveillance option. Depending on the mission requirements, UAV's can carry a variety of payloads including cameras or Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) sensors for air quality sampling.

9. Looks like an SUV designer's Wet Dream.

What's with that grill? That trim down the side? I don't think this thing was designed for the military/police (what's the difference anymore?) market as much as it is aimed at little boys who bought an H-2 and still didn't notice any improvement in penis size.

Wonder how fast it is with 3 flat tyres?

10. The grill sorta reminds me of a PT Cruiser.

You'd think they would protect that weak spot a little better.

[BiggJawn]

13. Yeah, that's what I was thinking....

How long can it run on a dry radiator?
Obviously wasn't designed for use against people who might actually have the audacity to FIGHT BACK.....

PT Cruiser....Yep, I see that. Like I said, designed more for frustrated H-2 owners....
