Eat me.  At least mine were in motion, as opposed to the ones that CBSA had to decommission as a result of your bodily emission's. 

I actually wouldn't want to drive that thing.  Any patrol cop will tell you that comfort is the only thing that matters when you are driving around.  By and large, that is the Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptor.  Having a fast car like that thing above would just mean that your pursuits would get called off that much faster.

It's a real workhorse. It was a pleasure to drive. It's roomy. I liked the column shifter. The rear-wheel drive helps with weight distribution, handling, and traction. Idles without over heating. It had a fairly tight turning radius. Roomy trunk with some interesting features inside. You really had to watch them on icy roads though. Best thing was the big engine block out front of you for head on collision survivability. Real gas guzzlers!
Favoured by many government agencies.

You know that was just a matter of time before the racked it up.  Somebody is in the poo house!

It's uncanny how the newest, and most expensive, vehicles in any fleet get written off. While the old clunkers seem almost indestructible.  Sort of like some people.
