A little Johnny Walker Black and I might just try it

After all OJ did it for an hour or so on the LA Freeway.

Must have been one of these:

Back in the late 70s when I was a Wichita, KS PD reserve officer, they got new squad cars. They were Dodge something with a slant 6 engine. They got them to "save on gas". They had such poor acceleration and low power that you had to always have your foot to the floor to coax any movement out of them. They went through the entire yearly gas budget by September that year.

One night the regular I was riding with lit up a guy on a 10 speed bicycle. He lost us and was gone in one block. The griping about those cars was loud all that year. The next year we had V8 cars again.

OBVIOUSLY there should be a help an officer call associated with this.
Hate to imagine the circumstances that have him resorting to the escape pod

Does it come with a shoe horn?

Does it come with a shoe horn?

That's the least of your concerns .... Do you get the rest of the car when you get it paid off?

 

[LoboGunLeather]

Stop it...just switch them over to these and be done with it all.

After all these years we finally have an answer to the old question, "Car 54 where are you?"

That would be ideal for Ruthie as she is 4'10" and 125 lbs. Where she would lose fuel efficiency would be from towing me in a trailer.

you know that smart car will just jam in there between your tire and wheel well.

Back in the 60s, the Albany PD had the biggest cheapest Buick's special ordered with the smallest engine for their cars. Politics the Buick dealer was well taken care of.

Then they modernized their fleet and started getting 6 cylinder full size Mopars. You got to remember this was in the street racing days of the Muscle Car era. Were driving around in high horse power cars and they had those laughable excuses of a cop car. They they bought a dedicated traffic safety car, a 273 2 barrel to go after the street racers. That had about half the power we had. After a couple years some one had a brainstorm and they started buying dedicated LEO cars and rejoined the normal world.

Ah those were the days!--

Remember when they switched the cars to run on propane?

Another brilliant idea from some desk jockey that never worked on the street.
