Is That A Missile In Your Volvo Or....
53,991

12345...9

A man drove down Florida’s U.S. 1 with what looks like an Israeli-built Shafrir-2 air-to-air missile in the passenger seat of his Volvo convertible and nobody really seemed to care enough to call anyone. Oh, and it was the same day that the President was visiting nearby.

The missile mover in question is local business man Tom Madden. Madden is said to have acquired the missile from a widow whose husband supposedly won it decades ago at a Palm Beach auction to benefit the Israeli Defense Forces. Instead of calling a truck to cart it off, he thought he would have some fun and take it home in his drop-top C70 Volvo.
