Police find Mexican 'narcotank'
2011-05-24
For the second time this month, officials in Mexico have seized a "narcotank" - a regular production vehicle that a drug cartel has turned in to a battle vehicle.
Reports said the guts of the "narcotank" are a Ford F-series Super Duty truck.
Someone get a paper bag for Frank ...
It had been customized with steel plating with ports for guns or other weapons, a rotating turret and a fold-up battering ram. No weapons were in the vehicle when it was found, according to the Herald Tribune report.
It's OK, Frank. It wasn't an F-150.

But it was one of his brothers ....

#4  If we had open borders with interstate highway free access for commerce the transport of dope to our hopelessly crumbling tribal welfare camps cities, these vehicles would not be necessary. I blame Tea Party white, racist America immigration laws and international borders. Change is needed. Change is coming!

#2  It is not a freaking tank, at best it is a boilerplate APC with a turret. It closely resembles the British wheeled APC used in Northern Ireland a lot, the Pig.
