Thank's for the supportive and amusing posts.
The wheels are nothing special. They are the stock aluminum wheels that come with any V-8 Camaro. Now our Public Affairs have 10 or so of these in black and white with polished aluminum rims.
The reality of this is, the car is useful but sometimes useless as a cop car. No room for stuff, let alone other people. Makes it hard to help a family of 4 off the freeway from a broken down car.
The purpose of this car is the same as our other specially marked patrol vehicles. To be low profile and reduce the ability of being spotted easily by truck drivers and high speed car drivers.
We have white Crown Vics, which I used to drive. Pickups (black and white). We ran out of Mustangs 4-5 years ago. Years ago we had blue and white, and brown and white cars..Chevy Caprice tuna boats.
It is just something different I wanted to post, not a political statement.
If the boss called and said that he wanted me to trade this for a, roomier and easier on the back, white Crown Vic, I would probably go with the Ford. 9 hours a day I prefer a more comfortable "office".
CHP isn't the only department with these. I found a lot of sites showing these cars all across the country. Coming soon to a freeway near you!
Maybe I'll post a picture of the inside...to show how stuff is squezed in.
