Every film you watch almost nowadays the bad guys have a German car. Big wheels, very stylish ie Mercedes or BMW. The colour is almost always black with tinted windows.
Is there a reason for this? are the German cars better than there Japanese counter parts? If your one of those who watches the fast and the furious movie’s then it’s either the American Muscle or the Japanese Street Racer. But what is it that makes a car the best criminal car.
Here are some noteworthy points.
1. Speed: you need the get away fast.
2. Reliability: you don’t want the car to break down after your criminal deed has been done.
3. The boot, is it big enough I mean really can you fit a dead body in there easy if yes then great.
4. Will your car be noticed, do you really want a yellow Honda as a getaway car? Really.
5. Will it take an impact and how many air bags, this is important for every criminal as usually the chases don’t end well.
6. Can you drive long distance without a problem, remember big difference in a 2 door Honda and a five door Mercedes.
7. How many people can you carry without a drag on speed, in case you need a few people going at the same time, remember a light car can not sustain the load. Anything less than a 3.0 litre and your in trouble.
8. Car maintenance, how often does it need doing, will you have the car for a while or per job. Very important as long term effects of recognition are never good for a criminal.
9. Will he use it as a family car, maybe practical implications are needed here also with safety, window tints ect.
Remember a good car can mean the difference between an apartment in a nice area or a cell in prison.
