You can get it painted to match... There really isn't anything special about it other than you can get it painted to match anything you want and you could hang 4 of the off the ass end of some boat and have a $300K of motors on a $150K boat. There is a guy in the UK who has a 90 MPH inflatable boat with eight 250 hp outboards. Cross Channel smuggling is what he does. You can make a good living on cigs and booze and not risk the heavy time for drugs and guns. They are busting retired people on the Eastern Shore of Virginia for smuggling cigarettes. Good. They are just trying to supplement their meager social security checks. Perhaps some heavy fines and jail time will cut down on the smuggling. I'd also favor tripling the amount of cigarette taxes imposed and collected, and raising the taxes regularly until the entire tobacco industry is driven out of business. The world would smell better. This is just crazy. If you really want to help society, jail and fine parents who let their kids get so fat they can't even fit in a school bus seat... You start a campaign for that, and I'll work on eliminating cigarettes...deal? I'd work on both campaigns. But, the government needs to stop the subsidizing. http://farm.ewg.org/progdetail.php?f...ogcode=tobacco Looks like it had been stopped for a while, but the last four years have seen a resurgence. |

People would buy booze, lots of booze, in DC at lunch time and then when they would drive home after work the ATF would bust them when they crossed from DC into Virginia. It was funny to see people on the side of the road having a couple of big boxes of booze and wine bought in DC pulled form their trunks while they were in hand-cuffs. With the amount of traffic, I wonder how they got spotted, or if it was random? The cops would park outside the booze stores and follow the idiot. === What a waste of law enforcement resources. |

Well, DC has such a law-abiding population that there's not much for the cops to do. |
