have you seen what has happened to that car, it is sad. Some punks stole the lug nuts off of one side of the car while it was at a gas station. they had to have it towed on a flat bed and they screwed the AWD.

Today was first time I saw this. Please excuse if this is a repost .. couldn't find it. Beats the crap out of our Camaro's down in FL. Once saw an M3 poice car in Nj. I think it was only for show though.

^Nope. lol. At least Lamborghini did donate it though. Where was the security? That is their best police car but no security system? I'd like to know specific uses for it.

Yeah, thats what the Motoring Press is saying. But man, I wish we had that kind of treatment in the states! Just think, a Ford GT or Viper SRT-10 would make great "Emergency Situation" vehicles.
