James Bond Car Tires
James Bond is Mexican
And he drinks tequila, shaken, not stirred. But then again doesn’t everyone drink their tequila shaken? I know I do.
Mexican police found a Jeep Cherokee outfitted with everything from machines to generate smoke screens to spikes designed to be sprayed out the back to slow or disable pursuit.
Despite these advancements the occupants of jeep apparently THREW a grenade to cover their escape. You’d think they could have splurged on the relatively common technology behind a grenade launcher to minimize the effort, though it is entirely possible they blew their whole getaway car budget on the smoke screens. Everyone wants a smoke screen – from James Bond, to superheroes and supervillains, to me when I am trying to escape those pesky parking attendants in downtown traffic (yes they will chase you for stopping in a no stopping zone, even with the engine idling).
I use the word ‘found’ very loosely. They ‘found’ it rammed into the side of a military vehicle. My suspicion is that with all those gadgets they had to take out a few cup holders, hit a bump, and the driver ended up with a hot coffee in the lap on those oh so smooth Mexican roads. Starbucks, I see a lawsuit coming.
I frequently hear people complaining about the effect of the media on society, with video games taking the blunt of the criticism these days, and there is certainly some sense to a rare comment on the subject, but perhaps we need to go back to focusing on movies for a second. Give a bored Mexican drug lord the James Bond collector’s suite on DVD, a large flat screen TV, lots of popcorn (or tacos?), and presto you get a Jeep with smoke machines in it. Now that is scary. What if “the terrorists” got hold of North American film and a little oil funding? Have you SEEN the deathstar?
All I want to know is if I can buy this thing at a police auction somewhere.
