[xtrememps]

Heh the ones I've seen a town over from me have black steelies and bumper guards. They look nasty.

 

[SwampAss]

State po here in Va also drive goats.

 

[flipstylex]

thanks for posting the pics citpro, anyways, since we're here, how do you post the pics on this forum ? did i do the html code right ????/

 

[BlackJack]

Yeah, there's a few in Watchung and Warren here in NJ. Most of them have the black steels and bumper guards. Even scared me when doing through a strip mall to find it sitting in the middle!

 

[Mocoso]

Bah... Chargers or Magnums can eat my shorts.... (chair).. just let them try and catch me (laugh)

 

[Daeron]

They have them around here too. All the cops hate them

 

[controlo]

weak. they're probably slower than the crowns.

 

[MakeMeGoFast]

i think they are going for intimidation over anything else. granted the hemi's...... well i can turn faster

 

[ill_eagle94]

I'm not skurred.

 

[SharkDiver]

They have them in my town.Also alot of unmarked cars like a 05 or newer mustang gt all blacked out and a newer camero that is all blacked out and also a few other cars and some SUVs.

 

[M3 5MT]

Well, no one else will by them, so might as well give 'em to cops for a discount, just like the crown vic!

General rule of thumb for undies:
If it's made in America, always assume it can pull you over. I've seen Ford Contour undercovers before...

 

[rjs_speed3]

we've been having Chargers as police cars and HWY patrol here in NV..

 

[Talbot]

They do look like some mean machines.

I like the Texas State Trooper ones, they also have the brush guard and black steelies.

Harris County also uses them, but I haven't seen any from HPD yet surprisingly.

Just the other day i got pulled over for 75 in a 55 by a Georgia state patrol.He was completely unmarked Dodge Charger, I mean it looked like a normal silver Charger. All he said was that my car looked very nice and that he loved the way it sounded. By the way he gave me a warning and said to watch out for the police. LOL I guess I just got lucky.

theres a cop here in hawaii with a charger cop car with huge chrome rims, unmarked since almost all cop cars here are unmarked
theres also one with a sick looking chrysler 300 srt-8 with blacked out tail lights
