A stroker live on CNN?

Did anyone see the CNN Headline news of the shooting suspect escpaing in the stroker? It sure looked like it was a stroker anyways. Thought I saw the tag on the drivers door.

I always thought it would be very funny for some cops to chase a Stroker - one with a full, 38-gallon tank. Just think - 500+ miles of chase.

Actually, probably pretty boring.

I can just see the headlines a few days later - "Congress contemplates banning excessively large fuel tanks."

Wow, CHP chasing a white Ford truck. How often does that happen. At least he was driven faster than OJ.

I just watched the vid and it does have a Powerstroke badge on the door. About a minute or so into the recording it shows a shot from the side and you can see it pretty clearly.

He only beat up three tires and a rim. Everything else was intact.

Looks like he was living in his truck. He picked a pretty roomy one to do so, crew-cab long-bed. It must have been an XL, as that one rim stayed together for a LONG time (15+ miles) and an aluminum one wouldn't have done that.

Maybe eligible for the "adopt a stroker" program. :-)
