What's this??? !!!

Take a look at one of the new toys at the McHenry County Sheriff's Department. Did they really buy this or work a deal with the Feds to get it from over-stock?

What rationale could MCSD possibly have for picking up one of these? Who would ride in it, anyway?

Is this what a Commanding Officer would use to respond to the scene of a violent crime?

Would he first drive to the lot in his regular assigned squad car and pick up the keys to the "special" vehicle?

What are operating costs for such a vehicle, even if it was free?

Does something like that get about 5 MPG? Or maybe 5 GPM?

Somebody's big ego was behind it. Whose?

What's the new fuel-savings plan at MCSD? Converting the gasoline engines to what? Will this gas hog be converted?
