New Camaro LT1 Joins SDHP Fleet To Combat Dangerous Speeding

Chances are you will not be able to outrun the South Dakota Highway Patrol's new Camaro LT1 - nor should you try. This machine packs over 450 horsepower and can hit 60 mph in less than 4 seconds. This high-performance Chevrolet with a 6.2 liter V-8 can scorch the roads with speeds of 180 mph.

So, why would the South Dakota Highway Patrol need this demon?

The answer may lie in a 2021 posting from the SDHP on Facebook. In a span of only 30 minutes, the patrolman on duty arrested 3 separate individuals cruising at speeds of well over 100 mph on I-29 with the fastest perp rocketing at 149mph. The other two were clocked at 111 mph, and 113 mph. This is only one posting from the SDHP regarding high speeds but we all know there are many more.

Have you ever been cruising on a South Dakota interstate at the posted speed of 80 mph and someone flies by you like you're standing still? At those high speeds, there is very little reaction time and is a life-threatening situation for all those on the road.

This is where a patrol car like a Camaro LT1 would be extremely useful and could quite definitely save lives.

Welcome to the SDHP fleet, Camaro!

Inside Minnesota's Largest Candy Store

I had been to Minnesota's Largest Candy Store once before, but they did some pretty cool things since the last time I was there. They added a bunch of superheroes, Star Wars stuff, and a candy band.

According to their Facebook page, Jim's Apple Farm is actually how the now huge candy store got its start. It is located in Jordan, MN and you can't miss it. It is a huge yellow building.

Even though candy is mentioned in the name, they have a little bit of everything. They have fresh baked pies and cookies and fudge. We walked in and it smelled amazing!

They also have the largest selection of sodas! Then there is chocolate and taffy and gummies and chips and puzzles and games. So much stuff!

They even have a Zoltar machine like in the movie, Big. I had to check that out. He told me the only helping hand is at the end of my arm. Gee, thanks Zoltar.

There were even crickets and worms! Not gummy worms, but actual worms.

They also have candy from all over the world!

The store is seasonal, however. November is their last month of operation for the season.
