I really think you're missing the point here. This vehicle is not being used for assault. It's being used for protection. If a SWAT officer does decide to get up in the turret with a M4 or AR15 to keep himself from getting shot,how is that any different from him hiding behind the truck itself? It's just a another

Believe it or not, many of the cops I've met were either former military or were in the reserves and had done tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. So take that for whatever it's worth.

So it has a gun-less turret. So what? Yea, a guy with a gun could hide there, or he could hide behind the door, or behind the back of the truck. It's not like it has a .50cal mounted to the roof. It's just an armored, completely weaponless truck. Almost all SWAT teams for any police or sheriff's department in the US

While not all police forces use camo for their SWAT teams, I know many of the departments in CA do because of the illegal weed grows they find. They have the camo uniforms for when they are surveying the grow op to see who's running it and then to use the element of surprise in order to catch the growers.

Damn, beat me to it.

Tesla Model... F?

God that was spectacular to watch.

Looks like I have a new toy I need to start looking around for, lol. Sounds like a really nice bike! Did they leave any of the police equipment on it (radio, lights, siren, etc.) or did they strip it first? I know they normally strip them all before selling to the public, but I've seen a luck few who have managed to

Yea, that was the one obstacle I couldn't figure a way around, lol.

Now playing

Well, the motorcycle as a pursuit vehicle, in my mind at least, would be used to keep up with the running criminal until backup arrived (in the form of a car/suv) that can then use the PIT maneuver or whatever other means necessary to take out the criminal and end the chase. There's also the option of spike strips

Damn, you just pointed out my solution. Forget Priuses. They're way costly from a maintenance standpoint and they would absolutely fail in long term reliability. And they'd completely fall off during any sort of pursuit (and this is relevant because I've heard Seattle has quite an issue with street racing). Simple

No, THIS fixes everything.

So, basically, we just need to all go back to Forza 4 and race the shit out of whatever we want and wait for Turn 10 to fix everything and release Forza 6.

Now that's just racist...

And this is why the smart people invented Cyber Monday. No stores, no crowds, no fights. Just quick and easy clicks from the comfort of your home or office.

Yea, I've got a whole great collection of cool stuff they make. You just have to dig through all of the weird fantasy cars they make. I'll have to post a list of all the good ones I've found in the last year or so.

Well I really appreciate it man. Getting to someone who actually owned/drove/lived with the vehicle you're looking at buying is better than any car review you find. And I'm glad you mentioned the height thing. I'm 6'3" myself and people hate having to sit behind me in my Sentra.

Well, it sucks that you had to test that out in scary situation like that, but I'm glad it turned out ok for you and that the car handles well at speed. What about the transmission? Did yours come with the select-shift or the regular PRDNL automatic? And thanks for answering all my questions. I promise I'll stop

Well it's got to be better than my 2.0 Sentra. And I really wish I could get the Focus ST, but it's out of my price range and the Fiesta ST is just a bit too small for my family car needs.
