In the picture of the Florida Highway Patrol... there are 4 squad cars, and 5 cops... Can you pick out which 2 get to ride together? Haha

The one with his hands so low they are protecting his butt and the senior officer out front - he's the pitcher of course :D

Just kidding, some of my good friends are cops, just not the one who tagged me at 50 in a 30, on a country road night radar trap.

If they had one, almost all cars can out run it nowadays. At least the new ones as they all have 300HP or more.

Here in Texas we can only have amber or white side markers. I wish we could have blue like the above.

AT doesn't make them slow :D And should've gone with modified Camaros in Bravard. I'd take a modded LS1 versus a modded GT, any day. :p

The guy in back is probably ex-military, in which case he does have his hands in the right place, everyone else is wrong.
