    The weirdly ironic part about the 911 I posted above is that the rest of this police dept (Hoover, AL) has NOTHING but Chevy Tahoe SUVs. Literally, not one patrol car remaining.


    If I were doing something wrong and saw one of those start to chase me, I'd actually think about running. The police shouldn't use cars that look too slow to catch you, or too wimpy to run you off the road. That's why the Panthers kicked ass for so long.

    @Ash78: I whole-heartily agree. The new Chargers in some places are almost a suitable substitute, but nothing strikes fear into the hearts of crims like a Crown Vic hell bent on justice.

    They have the execution bus, S-Class cop cars, Buick is the preferred brand, and dog cock soup.


    We have Greyhound, Crown Vic cop cars, Toyota is the preferred brand, and split pea soup.


    I'm not sure which is worse.

    Partially. It's also partially a low blow to a bunch of completely inadequate authoritarian cheesedicks whose sole manner of keeping power and confidence in themselves is through corruption and brutal treatment of Chinese citizens.

    I'd like to see anything German try and PIT maneuver a F150 at 50 mph and survive.


    You know, they say Crown Vics can run forever on nothing more than orphan's tears and the broken dreams of foiled criminals. True story.

    @wrx-tyrannosaurusWrx: I'd like to see a Crown Vic perform a PIT maneuver on a fullsize truck at 50mph and survive too. Sure if they do it right the criminal won't be getting away, but at 50mph the Crown Vic is probably gonna have to get towed as well.

    @elwood: From a few video's I've seen it is really easy to tip a truck at speed with a vic. Just execute the pit quickly right into the front of the back wheel. It'll either compress low and roll the bed of the truck over the hood, or roll over and flip the truck onto the shoulder. I've actually seen video of both scenarios...

    But it was a drug seizure, so it's a publicity vehicle more than anything.

    @Ash78: Woah. The nicest thing we've got is a late model Cadillac Escalade ESV (decked out with LED's, "dope" sound system, etc.) that was a DUI seizure. The Anchorage P.D. hauls it around to show people that drinking and driving is, in fact, not-awesome. I'd post a picture but I don't know how.

    @Ash78: If it is like most police departments they'll run it until the tires wear out, then auction it. Can't really justify $1K-$2k for a set of tires in most police department budgets.

    @layabout now with V8 power: I feel so sorry for British police officers. They drive those tiny little Astra Diesels. I guess there's nothing wrong with them, but I know cops in the states couldn't deal with it.


    And plus, I saw that Top Gear earlier this season where they demonstrated how they stop a rampaging vehicle...and well...lets just say this: it involved no carnage and 4 Volvos. How weak is that?
