Saddam's Testarossa

Here is a pic of Saddams cars that were seized in IRAQ. I was surprised to see a TR in the pic.

I wonder what they will do with it besides giving it a good wash?

Wishful thinking, at best......I'll wager the TR will 'accidently' get crushed by an errant tank driver who's mulling over his $18K/year salary in the 'Army of One'.

When I last was involved in this area of reasearch, in 1999, military pay was 14 percent lower than civilian pay, retirement benefits had been reduced, and there were at least 25,000 military families on food stamps.

That's a Weapon of Mass Driving!

I think that GWB should give the $ for it to an Iraqi school, and then burn donuts in it while flipping Saddam off and generally kick the crap out of it.

Or, just tell the servicemen to have at them!

It will be on Ebay at the end of the year and be in the guinness book of world records as the highest paid Ferrari .The state dept. will include a 8x10 glossy of Saddam.

if i were those soldiers i'd be looking for the keys. a few laps around the palace in a car you could care less about seems like a pretty good idea.
