Member's, Which one would you choose from the above ?
Sometimes I wish I was a police officer when I'm on the road & all these
crazies are driving like they own the road or in another world,
or from another Planet.

Hi `Mike, don't shoot the messenger :eek::rotfl:
Please contact Motor Trend (the source of above) & tell them you know for a fact that their prices are `off :eek:

Maybe the one you looked @ was a special one :confused::rotfl:with ray guns & special features ? ? ?
Which one did you like best ?

My dad's Dept. Has a charger, its a BEAST! looks awesome too.
id take the charger for the looks :D

Nothing special Space just a ecoboost awd taurus & Charger seems to be the best one to go with

Hi `Mike, I don't want to go in any of them :eek: especially in the back seat :eek:...I would like to test drive them `all (that would be a blast to `do)...I also think the Charger looks the most intimidating 4-Sure...

Mike, was the one you seen a Police edition Taurus or a Turbo AWD one ? Don't police & get their Police equipped cars at a police discount & don't have to pay taxes on their purchase...I hope a major magazine like Motor Tread is doing their homework on cost, b-4 they put them in their magazine. The price doesn't matter to me 4-Sure...I won't be buying one (LOL) & I hope I don't see any of them behind me with their lights flashing :eek: On `no ~> Not again :rotfl::(

Peace/Out from `Space...(I just finished my over-time double night shift) :congrats:I'm go'in 2 my cell-block now & recharge (LOL)

Well the cops can have fun chasing me when I get me one of these boosted Commodores. :woohoo: :drivin:



I'm sure many of you have already seen this video. But for those that haven't, turn on your sound real loud and enjoy. :eek:

I'm so glad GM has partnered with Holden. :thumbsup:

I like the looks of the Charger but AWD has an advantage in areas where it snows over RWD...

Motor Trend representative wants to see a picture of the Window Sticker :eek: as proof. They said they posted the prices that were on the window stickers of the police vehicles they tested :eek:. I said I would relay the message :) I told them that you were never wrong. What kinda car is that little compact car behind that Monster sized FORD..:eek::rotfl:.Did they build it that Big to intimidate other's :eek::rotfl: Maybe the one they posted in their above chart was for a Bait & Switch....(Get the cops 2 come in the dealership & feed them donuts & coffee) & then get them so happy that they just signed the papers no matter what the cost ....LOL...:)

p.s. `Mike the one you posted doesn't even have light bars, and I bet they cost over $3K +...
