QOTD: What Police Car Scares You?

What Police Car Scares You?





Years of keen observation has made me a living, breathing radar detector yet, despite my cop-sensing abilities, there are still a few law enforcement vehicles that cause my right foot to jerk off the gas. What police car scares you?


When the Crown Vic was the only cop car on the beat things were gloriously easy because, let's face it, Ford didn't sell many non patrol units unless they were painted bright yellow. Most of us can probably spot the rectangular headlights of a P71 from a mile away, at night, in the rain, under an overpass. The 2006 release of the Charger changed everything. People actually buy Chargers because they want them and they often buy them in white, black or silver. Sure, there are a few distinguishing factors but we dare you to notice them straight-on at speed.


And should you pass a Charger parked on the highway at anything more than the written speed limit, even if it's not a cop car, you have to start at those mean-looking eyes and wonder: am I toast?
Be honest, what police car scares you?

Unmarked Camaros in IN always used to keep me on my toes.

Chargers and even still some crown Vics nowadays. So many unmarked ones driving around and all the used cop cars being driven by civilians. At night it's hard to tell. Hell during the day it's hard to tell.

Hoffman Estates has a few C5 Corvettes. I think one of them even has some work done....Full exhaust..

Itasca also has a new STI..

 

[EmersonHart13]

I would assume they repoed those cars?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

The itasca Sti is painted like a rainbow though hard to miss

the Sti I think was donated.

 

[EmersonHart13]

I have seen it and yes it was but only for a limited time.

Yea, one of the vettes is strictly a shop car for high school auto classes I think.

I think Chicago had Mustang GTs running the same deal... And yeah they are not easy to spot.

en·trap·ment - a defense that claims the defendant would not have broken the law if not tricked into doing it by law enforcement officials

Yep, I remember back in the day when a few Camaros would prowl around the street racing scene trying to cause trouble.

I did an article on them two years ago when they had the black STi. Nice guys over there, took me out on ride-long in the car. The new one is a bit more noticeable in its neon colors

The main officer who drives it said they wanted to put their full gear in the STi this time, which Subaru wouldn't let them do with the black one. Yeah, it's on loan from Subie. They even got some badass black rims plus winter tires on the old one from Subaru.

Oh, Crown Vic and Caprice headlights scare the crap out of me. Even though the Caprice isn't on duty anymore it's the cars that I had to be on the lookout for when I started driving so it's still etched in my mind.

I still get that same unsettling feeling in my stomach seeing those dim crown vic headlights. Especially late at night when you KNOW you're getting pulled over.

x3 I hate them.

Magnums scare me, because the undercover Magnum cop in Naperville is a fucking prick. If I see any kind of Magnum I slow down. Just Naperville cops in general, my heart beats when I see one scoping me out. They're shady fuckers.

Crown Vic's and any Oak Lawn cop.

Usually if I'm scanning for the popo while driving I try and keep an eye out for the most common around here being Crown Vic's, Impala's, Tahoe's, Explorer's. Then theres the occasional black undercover Durango, white undercover Explorer, and old man tan undercover Intrepid. Basically been pulled over by them all.
