I was chatting with a Brazilian coworker earlier, and he mentioned a favorite TV show from his childhood that was sort of a Brazilian forerunner to CHiPs: O Vigilante Rodovi rio. The plot centers around a heroic highway patrolman and his German shepherd, Lobo, fighting crime... but that's not important. The important thing is that the cops in this show all drove Simca Chambords! Yes! It turns out the former star of O Vigilante Rodovi rio still has his Chambord from the show and he brings it to Brazilian car events. Scroll down about halfway in the linked page for some good Cop Chambord shots. – Murilee Martin

Funny, we were just thinking that we hadn't heard from Wendler in a while, when suddenly the former Necros guitarist and mph staffer kicks down this morning with a tip regarding the infamous "Punk Rock" episode of CHiPs, featuring a stellar performance by Pain — who apparently only know one song — some concerned musings on no-future teenage suburban nihilism, a car wreck and a motorcycle chase. Oh, and possibly the most amazing moment of Erik Estrada's career, but you'll just have to see that one for yourself.
