Hell no I’m not paying that much for a tow! I’ll have to figure out another way to get it there.
“Have you tried the roof, Mr. Romney?”
Another one! well played, sir!
In these trying times the LA county sherriffs department saw massive budget cuts. After they had to sell their surplus armored vehicle with the built in battering ram along with the personnel to man it the K-9 corps took up the slack by implementing this somewhat lackadaisical setup to serve warrants and bust down the doors to crack houses.
Go Greyhound!
Governor Romney, being highly criticized for caging an animal on the roof of his car, invented a more humane dog transport device.

“Here comes Rusty!”
“After a break of 27 years (or so), GM proudly announces…..
