    Hopefully the new Interceptor will be up to the durability standards of the Crown Vic.

    We spent some serious time over the weekend trying to kill one and let me tell you, it wasn't easy. It just kept going.

    It finally took lots of fire and several rifle rounds to make it officially dead. This was after many hours of Davidsfarm levels of hooning.

    Long live the Vic. #policecars

    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

    Even the weeds are lower class.

    I shouldn't talk. I have a tractor parked in my front yard. And I live in a suburb, which makes the tractor ironic.

    I also drive it to the post office. Can't just let it sit, to keep 'em running you gotta fire 'em up once in a while. #hondacivic

    Awesome pic.

    Here in the midwest the Civic and CV are gently used, 2 owner, second row beauties, (just behind the row of Silveradoes, F-series, Rams, Expeditions, 4x4 Ranger Flaresides, etc.) complete with available financing, on the nearest Workin' Man's sales lot. Hell, the CV looks nice enough to pose on the corner of the lot ramp.

    The Sprite would be the enthusiast's magnet, parked next to a listing Alfa Romeo Milano, battle-scarred C4 and crash damaged 2005 Mini Cooper behind the building, just visible as you drive by. Oh, and priced in the stratosphere.

    At least you don't have to deal with a black walnut tree leaving its own special brand of ambiance. #hondacivic

    Gotta love the collection. American gas guzzling teamed up with British leakiness and Japanese reliability.

    p.s: Wonder what the local neighborhood committee thinks about it? #hondacivic

    I'd consider this vignette a positive attribute for a neighborhood.

    When every house has a bimbo box in the driveway and a Cessnissan Poseline GT-R tied down at the curb, that's the neighborhood where I lock the doors and tell the agent "no need to stop at this one..." #hondacivic
