In China. “As if.”

BMW police cars

Those are escort cars for the Shanghai World Expo, courtesy of China Hush. No tawdry Jettas for these guys. I realize that against the Burj Dubai-sized pile of cashola spent on the Expo (not to mention the Olympics) this is probably a trivial expense. Still, against the tattered backdrop that is China outside of the major cities, it just seems so…unnecessary.

Anyway, they have the BMWs. No word on the legions of undead. But with Expo opening next month, should happen any time.
