police in downtown San Diego

[QueBert]

I was down by the civic center last week and saw 3-4 cops zipping around on these 3 wheel things that looked sort of like a Segway, and sort of like some futuristic thing from Judge Dred. They might have been Security, I couldn't see as they were zooming by me pretty fast and I was stuffing my face with a jumbo dog from the Sabrett cart lol. They definitely weren't Segways, unless it's a different model.

I want one whatever it was.

A vehicle to aid them in oppressing the people.

They're special Police Pursuit Segways. Not available to civilians. They're mad overclocked.

yeah they can go like 3.2 mph instead of the normal 3. And you only look HALF as gay on one!

The top speed of a Segway is 12.5 mph. Faster than most people can run any worthwhile distance.

this thing was going way faster than 3.2. I couldn't have caught one running my ass off. I'd have to say somewhere around 15 maybe more. I've seen Segways going full speed, and this thing was like a Segway with Nitrous.

It was darker color but that looks close, didn't notice the air gun on it though. I'm going to have to check next time I go back. Funny how I thought I remembered exactly how it looked and when I saw your link I had to think again and now I'm not 100% sure. It definitely looked close to that though.

Next time, go up to them and ask them if their name is Blart. See if they get it, or just give you a blank look. 😉

these things have air guns, I know I wouldn't die, but I don't want to piss off a cop to where he blasts me with the air gun. Yeah they're not lethal, but I'm sure they don't feel very good lol.

 

[sjwaste]

Do they have a pouch on the front that says GOB?

They are popular in California. I think that company is based here, or they heavily market it here at least. There is showroom in Irvine or Lake Forest, dunno if it's a dealer or their headquarters.

The Target near me has one. Why I have no idea. So the AP guys can ride around the parking lot for fun???

Another thinly veiled thread from QueBert on how much he loves junk food. Seriously, dude, how much do you weigh? 400 pounds?

Didn't you get the memo? Bulimia lets him eat all he wants to.

5'11 200lbs, my Metabolism is overclocked or something. But eating 1 jumbo dog for lunch with nothing else isn't exactly an OD of calories.
