That's what I was thinking. Maybe a GT-R...

I've seen at least two, both painted non-metallic black. Plus one city is using the standard Crown Vic, but with a taxi-light on the roof! It doesn't say "TAXI" though, it just has a big phone-number. You need to get up close before you see that, in /very/ small letters above the phone-number, it says "POLICE". And the phone-number is that of the local cops. Bastards. -- Tegger

I heard recently on the news that a "cop" pulled a motorist over and gave him a "friendly warning" about something stupid; not using a turn signal or some such BS. The guy who got 'pulled over" asked the "officer" for his badge, and when he saw it was a fake, promptly arrested the idiot... The guy he pulled over was an off-duty Sheriff's Deputy...
