The State Car: Subaru Packing a Sled.

From the Bangor Police Department's Facebook page:

"I am posting this photo tonight for those of you that are not lucky enough to live here in the greatest state in the nation.
Sure, you might have warmer weather, more snakes, tornados, insects and a higher crime rate but we defy you to challenge a Mainer in packing a car.
Ingenuity. True to the course and generally "wicked smaht", we also understand spatial issues like no one else. This photo was taken by a Mainer at a Walmart. Someone needed to get their snowmobile home and a Subaru wagon is truly the perfect conveyor of all things winter.
If the owner of this car can prove that it's their car and tell me a story of this adventure, I will supply them with a new or like new, Bangor Police Department Duck of Justice tee shirt. In Maine; free is considered better than cheap.
That makes this shirt a bargain at double the price.
Get a hold of ol' TC on messenger or give me a call at the office. I want to shake your hand because you my friend are a true Mainer. Share this. Like our page and let's find this adventurer.
. Please, if you are the packer of this car, clear up any wants or warrants prior to stopping by. I want to give you a shirt but I would rather you not wear it in a mug shot. 
We will be here!oto tonight for those of you that are not lucky enough to live here in the greatest state in the nation.

We will be here!"--BPD
And here's a link to a piece in Downeast Magazine about Maine's relationship with its Subaru herd.
