Here wasnt stopped because he was white. He said 4 cars surrounded him with lights on. That means they were responding to a 911 call. 4 cars don’t show up at the same time for a vehicle stop. Someone probably crank called 911, said they saw him with a gun out something and gave his description. It happens a lot in NYC.

Inline 6s seem to range from moderately pleasant to ear-bleedingly awful (I’m looking at you BMW M3/M4) depending on the application but I don’t think you can get one to sound nearly as good as an Aston V8 OR V12 personally.

That’s insane. I live in NY and none of those infractions carry points here.

Not to split hairs but some of the things on that list are not police-specific. I drive a Police Interceptor Utility (explorer) every day and the rear door/window controls are just standard child locks. The seats (front and rear) are not bespoke in anything but upholstery.

He wants nothing to do with it because Obama agreed to fund half of it. Pure and simple. Trump wants his knuckle-dragging base to remember him for effectively erasing Obama from American history.

When the Giulia came out, the first one I encountered was broken down in the middle of an intersection on a busy 4-lane road. I’m a police officer and the owner had called 911 to report that his vehicle was disabled and he needed help because the Alfa tow truck was 90 minutes away in rush hour traffic.

Correct. In this latest instance I would imagine the no doubt keen-eyed officer was tipped off by the spectacular single car rollover accident.

Right. Survivability is the name of the game. I never understood where the disdain came from for cops to have equipment that better protected them. Yes a bearcat might LOOK scary, if you have the temperament of a frightened child, but it’s nothing but a giant diesel powered SUV with metal plates on it. It has no…

The car that made me a jalop as a teenager was a red on black 1970 Chevelle SS LS6. I never bought one, but that was the first car made me a car guy and a Chevy guy. I did buy and mod a 98 Z28 Camaro into the high 11s when I was 18 (my parents trusted me enough to put me on their insurance.)

Can you explain exactly what’s wrong with ballistic protection?

L.I.D. was, objectively a clownshoes facility (they canceled test and tune once because the staff forgot to bring the Christmas tree) and yet, it was still convenient enough that closing it singlehandedly led to me selling my 11 second LS1 Camaro. It was nice being able to take a 40 minute drive out east and make some…

One of the biggest problems you’d run into is maneuvering a truck large enough to pick and flip a dumpster into wherever you’re keeping said dumpster.

While I completely share your sentiment, I chuckled at the fact that aside from his user name, there actually isn’t one “q” in that entire diatribe.

I think my concession to growing up and being more mature this year is going to be trading in my rear wheel drive, 2 door, 6-speed Genesis Coupe 2.0T for a nice practical WR blue WRX.

I think what he’s alluding to is the fact that most of the approach actually takes place over Nassau County, outside NYC until about the last 7 or 8 miles.

I didn’t say I pity them. I just hate the morons pointing camerasat them because they represent an entire generation that does little OTHER than point cameras at things.

Fair point, but the fact that almost all of said hecklers are millennials who seek to spend as much time as possible compulsively pointing their stupid phones at someone else’s misfortune makes them physically impossible not to hate.

You’re right, it does not help. Constant and uninterrupted access to social media is becoming engrained in the human psyche.

I cannot tell you how common a misconception this actually is. I’m a cop and just about every single time I pull someone over for yammering into their phone right in front of their face like a walkie talkie, that’s ALWAYS the excuse.

That’s not new though. My C6 makes no reference to Chevrolet anywhere on it and I don’t think the C5 did either.
