Over the summer CB and I saw Bullitt at a revival theater.  As we were leaving I overheard someone say that you can tell the 1968 Dodge Charger the hitmen drive in the chase scene is the bad guys car:



That's a sweet evil ride, I'm plan to jack one when I start my life of crime; but is there a modern equivalent?  What make, model and color of car would the bad guys drive now?
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

It's the kind of car I like driving in that Need For Speed X360 game.

I don't know.  What gets the worst gas mileage?  Hummer? Ferrari?  Winnebago?

Was my thinking too.
But then I figured jeeps with tinted windows are actually real world bad guy cars anyway.

My favorite villain, Kwame Kilpatrick, drives a Cadillac Escalade:



It's pretty pimp, I'll grant you; but it just doesn't have the same evil look as the '68 charger.

What cars do Kim Jong-Il and Chavez and Ahmadinejad drive?

Being bad these days is all about not seeming too bad while ripping off old ladies, shooting auto-rifles into schoolbuses, or selling coke to former presidents.

Bad guys these days would drive a new Beetle, a Mini, or for the ultimate evil, a Smartcar.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Ahmedinejad


Kim Jong-Il


populists need to drive the people's cars.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

People in North Korea have cars?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
