The Crown Victoria

OH!  You're talking about the early-mid 90's CVPI's.  I see what you mean now.  Yeah- those cars were horrible all the way around except there was one area they were better than anyother police car ever made--  the four headlight system was awesome at night.  But they rode nice too.  They rode like a civilian car does - very soft.

So you're saying the Explorers my island town (no freeway) has probably aren't too useful...

Ford calls them "Special Service Vehicles" and advises police administrators to institute a "No pursuit policy" when using these vehicles.  We can't have them in our department because under michigan law when we turn on a speeder to catch up that's a "pursuit" by letter of the law.  So our insurance carrier won't let us have them for anything other than crime scene and so on.  They also don't have a specific police package on them- they're just civilian vehicles outfitted with aftermarket emergency equipment

fleet key alike-  fake trunk release with real one hidden

OK. Is Fleet key like a master key? Now I think I get the fake trunk release. Is it to keep "unwanted" people from getting hold of guns that may be stored in the trunk?
