    Alex Roy’s cannonball run M5 is painted like a German police car. Plenty of Americans accidentally leave misc cop equipment on their retired crown vics to cos play as police. The irony is only a small amount of the remaining population is scared of crown vics - under 30s may have never seen them used and a ton of people straight up don’t spot cop cars. I can’t say I see early as many retired chargers/impalas/caprices/tahoes/explorers/tauruses let alone with old equipment.

      I grew up with Crown Vics as the standard cop car, but now it’s been so long since they’ve been in use that when I see them, I just imagine it’s a poor person who couldn’t afford a newer car.
