    If they're smart, CV cop accessories will fit on the new one and cabbies and grampa will be able to buy them, too. Otherwise, they're better off riding the CV tooling 'til the end of the petroleum age. #policecars

    @Scandinavian Flick: I love playing 'spot-the-cop!' Though they've been getting trickier lately... using Impalas and Ford Explorers... Still, haven't gotten a ticket in years now and everyone's amazed I can spot a cop car from out of nowhere. #policecars

    @okidokedork: hey me too. I have only had one speeding ticket. The tricky jerk tagged me as he was merging onto the freeway. I can usually spot those smokeys (pardon my crappy movie reference) a mile away or more. #policecars

    @okidokedork: heh, same here. I also use the slight reflection off the push bar as an indicator. The subtle glint from the light bar is a good indicator from behind.

    Our local finest have mostly been getting Chargers, but there are a LOT of Tahoes lately too. I have seen some really sneaky ones with Camrys on occasion, especially on the windy backroads at night, and increased enforcement on Highway 9... #policecars

    @FTGDWolverineEdition'09: Yea, I'm the only one that actually gives a shit about cars out of all my friends. And computers. So every time someone goes to buy a new car or computer they bug me about it. But test driving cars is fun so it isn't all bad. #policecars

    @FrankGrimes: I got mine when I was on my learners permit, my mother was in the passenger seat. Got me for 19 over the limit (really it was 20 or so, but thankfully he didn't want to ruin my driving record so soon). Ever since then I've been a hawk about spotting them.

    Or just driving like a normal law-abiding citizen when I'm too tired to care. #policecars

    I would think the phrase "engineered in america" would preclude the aussie models. My guess is an edited mustang chassis; probably turn it into a four door sedan and either give it the Crown Vic or Fairmont name. #policecars

    I half wished that they had used the face lift that they used on the 2002 Ford Interceptor concept. It wasn't pretty by any means, but it was intimidating and did look pretty cool.

    I just wonder what it is about this new generation of Police cars makes it so taboo for them to be sold in civilian versions. We've heard the argument for the Caprice, and we have all called BS on it.

    What's the argument from Ford this time? #policecars

    @Cue the Coupé Coup: Thank you, that's what I was shooting for.

    After years and years of quietly wishing for American auto manufacturing would get off its ass, I'm seeing more and more evidence of at least one company actually doing it. The past several years to me have been like Leonard-Spinks fight. We all thought we were going to see poor old Sugar Ray get his ass handed to him by the young brash challenger Leon Spinks. Well, it didn't turn out that way. Spinks had youth on his side and that was all - Sugar Ray danced around him, played bongos on his head and put him decisively away. Hell, Sugar Ray could have gone a bunch more rounds - he looked like he was actually having fun. And Spinks looked like he was getting a colonoscopy.

    Ford is Sugar Ray. The old champ has mountains of fight left in him. #boss

    My favorite thing about Ford is the Easter eggs they place in some of their products such as the "100" headlights on the Ford GT. #boss
