    He seems very distrubed by this and now maybe needs to take prozac. He can't tell if it's 1986 or 1988 style, and he had to hold back his tears while watching it get eaten.

    Seems pretty simple to me.

    yes they do ,add daewoo to that list
    the accord is bitten in half, it was kinda set up I think the break was too clean when the robosaurus bit the car. It was cool, maybe this thread belongs with the 'spotted on movie or tv' one from last summer.

    yeah. oh so true. i always look twice when i'm doing 80 on the freeway and i see i'm coming up on one. or worse, i see crown vic headlights in my mirror at night. then it's time to go down to 70 for a bit. but i can usually tell the police ones from the civ ones, even the undercover ones. just look at the license plate (here in cali, anyway). if it's all numbers, it's almost assuredly a cop. then the "CA EXEMPT" tag gives it away too.

    yeah. those and the new impalas (but not so much bc most real pd don't use the impala on the highway). and now they starting to use the new dodge charger in some departments too.

    yeah, chp has a few too. but i don't think they trust the boys out here in the inland division with them. i think they reserve them for the 5/99 in central cali and maybe the 15 between here and vegas.

    No kidden, I would love to be able to mod the car, but it is a car I can trust and not have to work on it much, wife drives it.
    I got this one from a friend who bought it at auction, was game wardens car, I guess for going around the state to court, it was never a patrol car so it is pretty tight for 160K miles. It has a lot of Asian influence in the design as well as Mustang too, I know them pretty good inside and out, ive built lots of cop cars.
    Interesting thing, Florida State Patrol uses a few Mauraders to trick ricers into running them. I Have an article about that.
    They are having an auction next week for a bunch of them Here next week the county. Ive seen those cars go for less than 1K if its a cruiser.Go to wayne evans auctions , website and see what they got if you want one !!!! Richmond County Augusta GA auction, you can see pics today. Its a live auction.
    Yep there is a used car dealer here that gets a lot of them camaros, vics, explorers and all , they ask too much for them, Ive seen gangsta types get 2001 and dub it out , it sucks seeing that.
    I would like to make a Maurader look alike and do a cobra treatment to it. I may do it to this one eventually, but I dont even like driving it looks too narc and yea people slow down in front of you and it hangs you up in traffic. lol

    http://www.weaci.com/
    link to auction , upcoming auctions
    These are live auctions, must be there, these type are becoming more and more rare few and far between. Most agencys are now getting rid of cars at online auctions such as gov deals dot com, and ebay,and the price goes up too much there plus you cant check out the vehicles as well.
