Six cars gone in 45 seconds

After four Hellcats were stolen last September, the Don Franklin Somerset Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership was robbed again. Last week, from the same salon located in Somerset, Kentucky, robbers stole six cars worth $ 600,000 in a short time. Everything happened very quickly, in just 45 seconds.

First they activated the alarm, which takes one minute to activate. However, everything happened so quickly that the alarm did not even sound, and the police arrived at the scene three minutes later.

The police report states that seven people entered the salon through a window, after which they found the keys, took the cars and left in different directions.

During the night, the police managed to find five cars, one of which was destroyed during the police chase, and the driver was arrested. Four cars were found at various locations in Tennessee and Alabama, and one of them had run out of gas. The sixth car has not yet been found, but is believed to be in Alabama.

Milk delivery truck with 815 HP

In the past, a milk delivery truck could be seen on a daily basis, but it has long been out of use because people now buy and store milk in refrigerators. Many of these trucks, which were moving on American streets, were produced by the company Divco, and one of them got a second chance.

Nick and his father decided to convert the milk delivery truck into an acceleration racing vehicle. This is not their first project, considering that they have done five of them so far, and we can say that this one is impressive. The exterior of the truck has been retained, the bodywork is the same, but the chassis was taken over from a 1995 Chevrolet pickup truck and redesigned.

The interior has changed significantly. Seats from the Dodge Caravan have been installed, and a new sound system with a subwoofer has been installed. The truck also got navigation. Nick has more plans for the truck, and it certainly won’t be slower.

When it comes to the powertrain, the old 107 hp (79 kW) engine has been removed. Now the truck is powered by a naturally-aspirated V8 Chevy Big Block engine with an impressive 815 hp (599 kW). This power allows the vehicle to reach a speed of 114 mph (183 km / h).

We are sure that there are more examples like this, and also that this will not be the last.
