Life imitates art?

It seems that US drivers are not the only ones who "can't drive 55". The Italian police have decided to that is it time to bring out the "big guns" in the never-ending struggle of speeder vs. law enforcement and have taken delivery of a Lamborghini to help them patrol the highways of Italy. The car will be used on the 400 kms Salerno-to-Reggio Calabria highway in southern Italy. Having driven over this stretch of "highway", I can tell you that just like out west in the US, it's a long, long, boring stretch of road, intermittently broken up by endless roadwork which just beckons you to "put the hammer down" and see just how fast your Fiat Panda is capable of driving. Kind of like driving from Provo, Utah to Los Angeles in a Ford Festiva. Anyway, now that there will be this Lamborghini patrolling the roads, a la Sheriff J.W. Pepper from "Live and Let Die", driving from Reggio to Salerno won't be all that boring with the possibility that you could actually get a glimpse of this car as it blows you off the road at 192 mph. Wow! Now if they would only mount machine guns under the headlights and rocket launchers in the back. That would be really cool!!!!
