While driving down Rt. 129 this morning, I noticed a Crown Vic behind me. On the windshield was a new car inspection sticker with a 2012 expiration date, which means that the car was bought in 2008. In that model year, Crown Vics were available for fleet purchase only. I thought, that's strange, what's up with that car.
When I pulled onto I-295, so did the Crown Victoria. Even though I had my foot to the floor of my 2008 Grand Marquis, he flew by me like I was standing still. Why would that be if the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis are basically the same car? Simple. The Crown Vic was a police special, an unmarked car.
They put one hell of an engine in those police cars. Why is it that all the cool stuff from bullet proof vests to hollow point bullets and automatic weapons are not made available to the general public but are only available for sale to police departments and the military.
After all, pretty much anybody would want to buy a new car with a police motor in it.
