It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before the catalytic converter so it'll run good on regular gas.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

Oh, and we're gonna have to refuel twice on the way.

What is this, a crossover episode?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 42 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Doesn't even matter which four-door sedan you drive.

Just take off your hubcaps, add a guard on your front grill, and suddenly everyone lets you pass then.

Don't forget the driver side mounted light

[–] Signtist@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was my parents' dedicated cop watcher since I was 8, and this is definitely a big one that a lot of people overlook. It's one of the easiest features of even an unmarked police vehicle to spot from behind if you know to look for the folded light's mounting hardware. My wife is always surprised at how quickly I can spot a cop from long distance, and it's often because I spot something strange sticking out of the drivers' side mirror.

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

In my area, most new cop cars, are SUVs and don't have the side light.

All the cops around here drive white or grey SUVs that are almost impossible to spot because the LED flashers are so slim.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 27 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Do cops even drive crown vics anymore? I don't even see crown vic taxis now.

For those Explorers and Tahoes, the only tell-tale sign is to look at the roof. Civilian models will have these roof rails, police models won't. Civilian models will have these roof rails, police models won't.

[–] worsedoughnut@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

I always say, the moment cop cars start adding roof racks and bike mounts we're all getting pulled over lol

They do in poorer areas- my local county sherrif only had the budget for two new dodge Durangos in the last 4 years, the rest of the force drive crown vics with junkyard engine swaps to keep them going past 300k miles.

Just grabbing your junk, and jerking off to authority

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If your police are still using these cars, they are severely under budget being that they are usually over budget and have tanks basically.

Supposedly in Australia they use VWs. With the amount of VWs on the roads they must be paranoid all the time.

Not so much anymore. The SUV craze affected cop cars too.

Just something I picked up at the mount pleasant city police auction - they were practically giving them away

Are you a cop though - you have to tell ~~us~~ them if you are a cop you know!?!?!? :-P

[–] noxy@yiffit.net 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

get a Marauder instead, they look better and the Mercury logo is easy enough to identify so folks can breathe a sigh of relief

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Debadged mercury marauder with utility lights. Prowling the early aughts like a panda dressed as a grizzly.

If you have to wonder whether a car is a traffic cop or not, your country is doing policing wrong.
Cop cars should look like this.

[–] UnfortunateDoorHinge@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah English police are much more welcoming than the US police.

Rollin in that Crown Vic.

[–] InternetUser2012@midwest.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah the wheel covers give it away. Undercovers usually have those, police auction ones do not

[–] 33550336@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

This is a good way to mess with motorist, I like it as a cyclist 😎
