I was very lucky to participate in a "ride along program" in 1995 in Alaska. I went out on patrol with the Alaskan State Troopers. They had these cars. I was treated to a show of how fast that car is during a blue light trip to another officer who required assistance. It was an action packed night shift covering Saturday night to Sunday morning. Still gives me a buzz to think about it.

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

You've got yourself a nice automobile there. In addition to the extra ponies.. it's got a beefy transmission.. serious suspension set-up.. and most importantly,, it's real wheel drive.  8-)

This is a nice-looking one. Most of the ones I see around here look like crap and indeed are driven by crap ;)

I have the Mercury counterpart of that car (minus the cool interceptor history  ;))

And I can attest that the car is MASSIVE, but doesn't feel it till you try and park.  ;)  Comfortable, massive storage space (very useful for those of us in a dorm) however doesn't get any jealous looks from other drivers    :P

I work security where we drive the Chevy Impalas with the police package in them. 3.9L V6. They are a blast to drive although they are all tracked and we get pages on our phones whenever someone is speeding :(. Can only imagine what the vic is like. Hopefully I will know soon enough.

either way they can be quite a bit more fun than my little Accent.

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha want
Whatcha gonna do when sherrif John Brown
come for you tell me whatcha gonna do.

Bad boys bad boys
Watcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
when they come for you
Bad boys, bad boys
Watcha gonna do, watcha gonna do
when they come for you

When you were eight
And you had bad traits
You go to school and you learn the golden rule
So why are you acting like a bloody fool
If you get hot you must get cool

Bad boys, bad boys
Watcha gonna do whatcha gonna do
When they come for you (repeat)

You chuck it on this one
You chuck it on this one
You chuck it on mother and
You chuck it on you father
You chuck it on you brother and
You chuck it on you sister
You chuck it on that one and you chuck it on me

Nobody naw give you no break
Police naw give you no break
Soldier naw give you no break
Not even you idren naw give you no break

Why did you have to act so mean don't you know
You're a human being born of a mother with
The love of a father reflections come and reflections go
I know sometimes you want to let go
I know sometimes you want to let go
;D
