Dubai has an aventador as a police car? way too much oil money in my opinion... http://www.classybro.com/2013/04/run...-police-force/

 

seriously

 

its bullshit... just sayin

 

How is this news? They also have a couple GT-Rs, some Camaros, 5 Series, etc.

 

Yep saw that the other day...

 

The article explains why:

 

Seriously

 

Italy has a Lamborghini police car too

 

Fucking Italians. Too much olive oil money.

 

You try catching Lambos, Ferrari's, Porsche's, etc with a Crown Vic.

 

have you seen the cars they drive???

edit: I'd also take a wild guess and say people won't pull over at those high speeds... or try to evade them anyway

 

by the looks of that picture I would say Italy had a Lamborghini as a police car....

 

That kicks ass.

 

It's not uncommon for the German police to use Beamers, Mercs and Porsche. Oh and even these:

 

How about the South Korean Police:


Must be all the Fish Oil.

 

Get this crap out of Ramblings......

 

Insane. I'd drive one.

 

Car talk?

 

And all their taxis are Mercedes/BMW's

 

They should add an NSX, just cause. BTW I wanna go to Dubai.

 

 

NSX's have been used by the police in Japan too.

 

One of my local Fire Depts has a Murcielago

 

What's a "beamer"?

 

You spelled "the" wrong in your username.

 

 

Damn that's crazy! Someone's makin bank!

 

pronounced beamer...spelled bimmer...

 

Yes, seriously.

 

In California maybe, but you guys always were a little light in the loafers....

 

It was that way when I owned one back when I lived on the East Coast 14-15 years ago...

 

NISSAN GT-R : $100,000
CHEVY Camaro: $40,000
BMW 5-series: $50,000

LAMBORGHINI Aventador: $400,000

Yeah, I think that's how.

 

That isn't the fire department's.

 

It's still not news. All any idiot has to do is see what other ridiculous shit the country spends money on.

$434,000+ for what was originally a concept. Add in the other high amount of tourism & commercial projects they have planned & a $400,000 police car seems like chump change.

 

Then next time, lead with that, and not a Chevy.

Meh, where I love we use G wagons for our trash trucks.

 

NSX would barely keep up with a new Camry...

 

Implying Lloyd Banks knows the difference between a "bimmer" and a "beamer".

Bimmer vs Beemer
Enthusiasts vs others
Definitions:
Bimmer - proper accepted slang for BMW cars. Most people don't know this.
Beamer/Beemer - proper accepted slang for BMW motorcycles. You will hear this term used incorrectly by many people.
Bummer - When you get a speeding ticket.
Bitter - Another German car. Very rare; hand built.

So just why is a BMW car called a 'bimmer' not a 'beemer' or 'beamer'?

The answer in part lies in knowing some BMW history and what came first.

All real BMW enthusiasts know that BMW got a big start on two wheels, what many call the real BMWs.

In those days, BMW motorcycles were quite active in racing, and one of their competitors at the track was often the BSA bikes.

Well as things would have it, a track slang developed, and the BMWs were usually referred to as 'beemers' and the BSAs were referred to as 'beesers'.

So, of course for any true enthusiast, there is no way that a BMW car could be called a 'beemer', so they were called 'bimmers'.

Unfortunately, in the US and Canada, and perhaps other countries, there was a time (kind of still is) where for various reasons, a BMW owner was considered an upwardly mobile person, and of course due to the fun in driving their BMWs most all of them had big grins on their faces.

Hence it is little surprise that the non enthusiast types out there incorrectly labeled BMW cars and their owners as 'beamers' or 'beemers'.
