Let him keep it,or sell it to me maybe ???

[BigBlueJon]

This is garbage. If he purchased the car from a private seller who had papers that show he purchased the car from the Iraqi government, .........What's the problem. My vote...He keeps the car.

[cmsgop]

Here it is....

[9999lakes]

Seargent Von Zeal huh? It's Bilko! I know it is. It's Bilko, isn't it?

[Rastus]

Oh boys, take me back
I wanna ride in Saddam's Cadillac

[Ajnin]

Of course, if it was a Congresspunk that bought the car it would be ok.

[sgtbono2002]

Ya gotta admit this guy is a class A operator.

getting the car and having it shipped and arrive i the USA had to ba a major coup.

Federal Agents will hold it till one of their operators figures a way to get it aay from the Sgt.

[mrmargaritaville]

I bet the back seat is familiar territory to Fatalie Maines and the other two Ditzy Chicks.

[SJackson]

Reasonable to look into the documentation. If there's a ban on imports from Iraq, that's a problem, he should take it to Europe. I'd let him keep it if the transaction was legal.

The vehicle was equipped with a series of pipes that shoot flames out the side of the car.

If you've never considered the Blaster, the video link at the article still works. It's worth a look.

Flamethrower now an option on S. African cars

EBAY time.

Why aren't these ICE cretins policing our southern border instead of harassing our military?

[GadareneDemoniac]

Give me a break -- how many cars of infamous people have been paraded around to impress the folks back home? Hitler, Bonnie and Clyde, others?

A few years ago a car museum owned by the president of a big Atlanta bank had Eva Braun's car on display. I saw it and my eyeballs didn't melt.

Let the soldier keep the damn car!

He managed to bring the car here from Iraq in 2004. Apparently no problems with customs at all. It's been in his driveway. So much for the difficulty of smuggling WMDs.

[ridesthemiles]

How sticky were the seat covers??????

[Khurkris]

Complete BS.

He bought legally. Shipped it home legally.

Damn gov't wankers with too much time on their hands.

[9999lakes]

It's not the most important issue of the day, but I HAVE been thinking about this guy. It doesn't even matter if he gets his car back or not. He SHOULD, but even if he doesn't, this guy is gonna turn out alright.

A young guy who has an eye for a deal, when everyone else around him is just thinking of a beer. And THEN a young guy who can put his hands on enough money to swing the deal.

[GAB-1955]

Because ICE handles all the borders... land, sea, and air. That's the Customs side here.
