Title: Worst looking police cars
Post by: Mustangfan2003 on April 18, 2014, 10:28:41 PM
I think the new Detroit cars look pretty terrible.  Should've just went all Robocop and went with flat black

or maybe went with a throwback to these colors

but the color choices of the Tennessee State Troopers are pretty bad and had been for a while

I know this is only campus cops, but this is an expensive way to budget for police vehicles...


( and totally not intimidating... not to mention UGLY.... )

I like the big, gumball lights that Michigan puts on their state police cars.  Talk about a throwback to a bygone era...

Am I tripping on acid?  Nope, it's just painted like that.

And that big red gumball is easy to spot coming up your rearview mirror!

Jesus, those pusher bars are insane. Why don't they just drive snowplows?

Considering how broke Detroit is that may not be a bad idea.  The cops can do two jobs at one time.

Which is why they keep getting rarer and rarer. There are still a few out there, but many more slick topped cars these days.
