Secret Service hard on Hertz
Seems Biden spent Thanksgiving on Nantucket. Nothing unusual there, nor is it that unusual that the Secret Service rented SUVs. However:
The Secret Service rented five vehicles from Hertz to carry the president and his family, and all five of them caught fire in the parking lot, according to footage first obtained by the Nantucket Current.
Footage shows firefighters spraying down the smoldering remains of one vehicle’s engine block. The five vehicles included a Chevy Suburban, a Ford Explorer, an Infiniti QX80, a Ford Expedition and a Jeep Gladiator
The fire damaged a few other vehicles, but fortunately was contained after it had spread to about 40 feet from a fuel storage tank.
Ford has a recall going for possible cracked fuel injectors causing engine fires… but not on these models.
A vehicle fire? Possible. Five, more or less simultaneously 24 hours after a rental? Odd… they were turned in on Sunday, and the fire happened Monday. Five different models from four manufacturers? Uh, the bounds of credulity are getting stretched like a fat lady’s girdle.
This one is worth watching.
Delay timers aren’t difficult to construct. A 555 IC (or it’s modern equivalent) as the clock……the rest is just details.
I suspect some 555s are still in the stash of some folks.
Useful little chip.
And may still be available online. Maybe even the 556 (dual 555)
Just checked. Yep. Tons of 555s still available, and for cheap.
Low mileage SUV? Ok
Good luck on affording the gas/diesel…….if you can even find it.
In a completely unrelated development, Hunter Biden has misplaced his crack pipe.
Hack Stone has seen enough episodes of judge Judy to know that when a Baby’s Mama is mad at a Baby’s Daddy, she takes her vengeance out on his vehicle, or any vehicle she believes that may may be connected to him. Anyone know if Lunden Roberts has an alibi for this past weekend?
As a person who shows her naked body to people for money she really values her privacy.
Not sure why they would want a Gladiator. No room in the back seat. I guess if there was only 2 of them it’d be fine.
BTW, I like them. Sharp looking vehicle. Just not practical for 4 grown men.
Who left their Galaxy Note plugged in?
I saw this the other day and it isn’t getting much play. I don’t know how the left hasn’t already blamed it on white supremacy, which is the real culprit for all ills of the world.
Saw this the other day and wondered which of the usual suspects would make a post. And like many others, my FIRST (*grin*) thought was, “Isn’t the vehicle locator/tracker box mounted in the front, under the hood?” No, we’ll never hear the true story of why these particular vehicles were all damaged in the under the hood area. “Nothing to see here, Citizen. Move along.”
I think I know what happened.
Maybe an “Enterprise”-ing deplorable from “Alamo” Texas who being “Thrifty” and was on a “Dollar” “Budget”, decided to make it “Hertz” by setting the Secret Service autos on fire using Bill Clintons used cigars. (h/t to jeff)
(I must be realy bored this morning….notttt ennough cofffeee!)
A suburban gladiator took on the role of explorer for the expedition to infinity and beyond.
No, no. Newsweek fact checkers said it’s all false. Yes, there was a fire. Yes, all five SUVs were burned, but the fire was the fault of only one SUV, a White Ford. The fire spread from the White vehicle to the other four, which were presumably VOC, Vehicles of Color. The White Ford was assigned fault, because … Well.
Let me guess, it was the Ford Exploder.
No prostitutes?
