Hi `Mike, don't shoot the messenger
Please contact Motor Trend (the source of above) & tell them you know for a fact that their prices are `off
Maybe the one you looked @ was a special one
with ray guns & special features ? ? ? Which one did you like best ?

Hi `Mike, I don't want to go in any of them
especially in the back seat ...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
On `no ~> Not again 
Peace/Out from `Space...(I just finished my over-time double night shift)
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. 
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.

I'm so glad GM has partnered with Holden.

Motor Trend representative wants to see a picture of the Window Sticker
as proof. They said they posted the prices that were on the window stickers of the police vehicles they tested . 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...Did they build it that Big to intimidate other's 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 +...
