If you missed "Monster Garage" on the Discovery Channel this week, you might want to catch the rerun. While I haven't seen it yet, the Virginian Pilot notes that a team of light hearted police officers convert a police cruiser into a donut factory, complete with coffee maker.

When [Chesapeake Police Officer Michael] New and the other team members first heard what they were doing, he said, they thought it would be a simple modification, "like a fat-daddy fryer in the back of the car.''

But two doughnut experts, plus $25,000 worth of equipment donated by Dunkin' Donuts turned the patrol car into a factory capable of cranking out 42 dozen sweet treats per hour, with three icing flavors and five different toppings.
