I've heard that in every gang shooting the gangster that was shot can be linked to Jonathan Bacon within 6 steps.

Well, not anymore.

Since Bacon is out, time for Sausage to make a comeback.

This is truly a fascinating story. I sort of get why these guys are attracted to the lifestyle, but they have to know their life is either going to eventually come to a violent end, or they'll end up in prison for the rest of their life.

I would do some serious soul searching if I needed to drive around in a car with that much protection. Did they really think they'd live to see 40?

It says it weighs more than a one ton truck, which is totally different than weighing more than a truck which weighs one tonne.

A one ton truck weighs approximately 3-4 tonnes.

Saying the car weighed more than a one tonne bag of feathers is meaningless, since at least 99.999% of cars meet that description. However, only 0.001% of cars weigh more than a one ton truck.

If you're going to be carrying around that much steel plating at least get a 760i...

LOL on the 740i . . . . I bet it slipped all over the place getting through the Okanagan in the winter just like everyone else. You'd think he could afford an AWD version, but that's pricing himself out.

Some life, eh? Like, can these guys even sit down for a steak dinner without having to be seated against a wall? And so much for going to a movie.

So I guess it's obvious I know about 0.001% of cars. I had no idea there was a difference, but it's probably why the mechanics cheer everything I drop my car off.

Going off memory from when I read the article when they first found out about these cars, they had to ship them out east to Ontario to get them modified.

tonight on the news they said the 'other guy' in the car is believed to be from the 'independent soldiers' gang

that's an interesting mix... h.a., red scorpion and i.s.

i wonder what 4x4 would do if they cut him off in traffic???
