Odd Truck

[Guest 73challenger]

Today while leaving a local restaurant I noticed a large armored truck. It was a a F750 styled truck with 4 doors and a ambulance like back. The truck had government plates on it. I noticed that it circled a couple of restaurant parking lots. Maybe that was to see if someone was following them? Just thought it was strange. Any thoughts?

Men in Black?

[Guest pfries]

Not sure what the truck was but government employee's ...probably just lost

Probably Homeland Security. Was it a dark, solid color?

Maybe they were trying to find a parking space to get lunch.

Yeah it was.

I've actually seen a couple of those a couple times.

Saw a caravan of 2-3 heading south on I65 a couple months back right near the Kentucky Border. I also saw 1 turning right on Rivergate parkway from Long Hollow Pike about 2 weeks ago.

Thought they were so badass, I checked pricing === Ouch is all I could think.

Thread worthless without pics!!!

[Guest 73challenger]

Ha I tried. It was dark and we were both moving. It didn't turn out very well.

The ones I saw looked similar to this but matte black and raised (maybe not raised, just larger tires?) i didn't notice if they were gov plates though ... This ones seems a bit lower to the ground than I remember. Then again, it could just be the pic.

LOL ... That's why I looked it up when I saw them (the 2nd time, not the 1st)

the day I can afford that, I'll likely want something even cooler. o well, 1 can dream

How far are the tri-cities from Nashville? Vice President was in Nashville today. . . .

That explains the traffic. Hope he got there without any inconvenience.

It belongs to Sector 7! More than meets the eye!

I wondered when they were going to replace the Expedition.

[BrasilNuts]

Escort vehicle.

Watch the Video until the very end.

Office of Secure Transportation | National Nuclear Security Administration

It's about 4.5 hours away. So maybe?

It looked a lot like the pic xRUSTYx posted but the back looked more like this.

[BrasilNuts]

A Ford version of this right?

[Guest Broomhead]

I'm wondering if DHS is rolling out their back-scatter x-ray vehicles. I learned about them when I worked for TSA. BrasilNuts' picture looks just like the concept images in the manuals, dead on.

^^^^This^^^^

That's why the government is broke, then more expense ford escort just a basic A to b car.

remember tomorrow is the Fema Test, maybe they are getting ready to deploy.

Yes! What is that?

[BrasilNuts]

Yes! What is that?

It's a truck cab and chassis with a after market box on the back.

It could be anything from just about any department, especially if you were close to I81.
