Try I95 in South Florida. They use quite a few of the confiscated cars from drug busts, and many of them give no indication of what they are until the headlights/blinkers start alternating and the flashers inside the car start up. An SUV I saw even have rather sporty wheels. I've never had the 'opportunity' of meeting one of the cops personally, but I am sure they have a far better than normal ticket writing average. Probably have more fun driving some of those cars, too. BillR

On this topic, I wonder why police limit themselves to such predictable vehicles. What's to keep them from using something totally unexpected? Yes, I know they sometimes use Camaros, even Mustangs, and Luminas, etc. But anyone with any car sense can tell when one of these is potentially a cop. How about a cop in a Buick for example? I wouldn't even be inclined to wonder if it was cop/citizen. Don't ge me wrong, I'm glad they don't.
