Perhaps not the coolest car, but one of my favorite schemes (I'm a bit biased however). They've gone to all black vehicles now, but they're retaining the rest of the graphics package. I prefer the black on white.

This was just after the wraps were applied but before most of the hardware was added. The Tahoes all have wrap-around push bumpers that make them look pretty mean.

Not fancy or anything, but our Sheriff's department used to have an old Dodge K car that they used to run around in.  It was a faded matte gray with nasty steel wheels on it.  The guys used it to server warrants and do NARC stuff.  

Totally inconspicuous.  The original Stealth Cruiser ™.

I've noticed the old MSA standard for decal schemes have basically gone out the window lately. Every Sheriff's department all looks to be running a different design now-a-days.

I live in Dubai and have seen this Veyron in the flesh.  They also have an Aventador, and SLS, an R8 and an Aston One-77 (which is the only one I haven't seen on the street).

I'm not quite sure of the purpose, but they are fun.

Pretty much. Kalamazoo County had never fully complied with the MSA scheme, though they tended to maintain a similar appearance. When they adopted this one, they brought back the traditional Kalamazoo Co. black over white that they used to run with more modern graphics. Unfortunately, they decided that the wraps were too expensive, so they went to all black on any new vehicles.

Probably haven't seen the one-77 because there were on 77 of them made. Pretty rare.

I doubt he would give you a thumbs up while you are hauling ass in a Volvo, what were you driving?

I know of a couple guys who have been pulled over in Memphis for excessive speeding, only to be let go after a long car conversation with the Car-enthusiast Officer (one guy was driving his dad's L-88 Corvette )

Well, actually the police here very rarely pull anyone over.  They rely mostly on cameras and Darwin.  The exotic cars are used for PR events, parade escorts and community policing in the more fashionable places like around the Dubai Mall or Jumeirah Beach Road, which isn't a place where people speed (too many speed bumps).

I don't have any pictures, but Pensacola used to have a lifted f-250 with ~800 hp. Black on black on black, totally stealth, when he pulled someone over they had a hydraulic lift that came out of the toolbox with lights on it.

Washington state troopers used to have a white nsx with twin turbos, I parked next to him on the ferry one day and he claimed he could break 200 without much fuss

FTW



It was the fastest one in the district, probably in the state. I always said that it was a piece of sheetmetal wrapped around a bomb. I once jumped a Corvette on 29 north of Opelika. It was a mountain road – curvy, hills, little streams with bridges across them – and I ran about five miles on that terrain right up with him. Finally, he pulled over and I had every intention of dragging him out and throwing him in jail, but when I saw him, he was just shaking all over, so I just gave him a reckless endangerment ticket and told him I never wanted to see him around there anymore.



Of course, I was young and still had my Superman suit, so I’d do stupid things too. This one time I had to drive down to Montgomery, which was about 60 miles down Interstate 85, and I wanted to see how fast I could make it. Twenty-seven minutes later I was parking in Montgomery. Well, I gassed up for the return trip and figured I’d try to beat that time. About five or six miles out of Montgomery, at about 140 mph, I passed a semi, one of those flat-nosed rigs. Just as I passed it, the air coming off the semi raised the front end of that Javelin straight off the ground. If God wanted to take me then, that would have been a perfect time to do it, but I thank Him every day that he just let the front end of that car right back down. Nobody ever had to tell me not to pull a stunt like that again.

And as for that time Tim borrowed his Javelin?



I was off that night, and Tim and another trooper borrowed my car. About 8 p.m., the phone rang. It was Tim, and he asked me if I wanted to know how fast my Javelin would go. I told him yeah, and he said the other trooper clocked him with the radar at 158 mph. They weren’t exactly busy that night, were they?
