Nah. I was onto him. Besides, I always obey all the traffic laws and follow strict safety procedures when operating a motor vehicle on public roads and highways. I'm the kind of guy you'd allow your daughter to date. I promise...
Car pics too cool not to share

I remember those 5.0 LX Mustang State Patrol cars. There used to be one in upstate New York (Saratoga) who ran around with a baby blanket and a beach ball or soccer ball in the back window. Sneaky bastard...
Colorado took the shock and awe approach. These B4C Camaros were surprisingly hard to spot , even in full cop car dress.
The Camaros would out run the CSP mustangs , and had a higher top speed , ( 137 vs. 155 m.p.h. ) . They used to clock you with a plain wrapper , let you get a ways down the road , then run you down full afterburner with the Camaros .

Can't say I've ever seen one. Did see a Jeep XJ Sheriff's unit about four years ago, though. That one kind of surprised me, mostly due to its age. Must've been one of the results from the "Defund the Police" movement...
An abandoned beer truck. Now that just may qualify as the saddest thing I've ever seen...
It does look abandoned but I wouldn't call it that. Although from the road it looks like it's in the woods I think it may be visible year round from the house closest to the street to the right of my fine artistry. Not sure about the house behide that one, before noticing it on google maps I never knew that other house was back there. Anyway, I hope if I ever see the owner the first thing he'd say is, "Not for sale, I'm going to fix it up someday."
Funny how we oftentimes hope that something isn't for sale so that we don't have to go through the torment of wanting to buy something that we know damn well we don't need. It's so much easier when we don't actually have a choice.

The CSP used to have XJ's when they were still made , but these day's one of these patrol cars or trucks will spoil your day.
That Chevy in the first pic looks intimidating. The Dodge and the Ford, not so much.
Why, thank you!! Looking A+++ still. So jealous!!
Back when we had a showy Sheriff we had a couple of those Camaros around here, and one Impala SS.
One of my neighbors is still a little mad about that car. Apparently they were hard to come by when that car was new and our local dealership had one, so my neighbor went to buy it. After a day or two of back-and-forth, he thought they had a deal, then the Sheriff swooped in and bought the car. I've heard that story every time a black Impala SS drives by and I'm within earshot of my neighbor.
Some more from Sheriff Hege.
Why does Australia get all the cool kid cars???

Australia also has him...
...but the U.S. has her, so take that, Australia.
Okay, eventually he had her too, so there's that...
I know some characters, some may or may not be family members.
Since he's on my mind, I'll tell another quick one about my uncles "most dependable guy", Ross. (he really was a decent guy, he just made "redneck" choices
One of these.

We had them here in California too. I drove one for 13 years, getting a new one every 100,000 miles. Tough car, held up great.I know some characters, some may or may not be family members.

If that was your only focus you missed the cool points.
The highway patrol version is cooler
Supercharged 5.0 536HP
This one off version had 800HP
Because, indigenous peoples aside, Australia is essentially a country of hoons (and I say that respectfully).

The GTF reminds me of the Mach 1 hood stripe
Power in the 351 GT F comes from a supercharged version of the 5.0-liter Coyote V-8 found in the Mustang. Other Falcon GT models feature this engine too, but with output tuned to 450 horsepower or less. The extra 20 horses of the 351 GT F were brought about by modifications made to the ECU and a new overboost function. Peak torque, meanwhile, registers at 420 pound-feet and is available from as low as 2,500 rpm. Some of the car’s engineers have revealed to Go Auto that the engine sometimes will produce more than the stated figures, even as much as 563 hp and 479 lb-ft, but only when the air is much denser, such as on a cold morning in areas of low altitude.

I'd drive that, even with the steering on the wrong side.
I wonder how long it would take to learn to speed shift using your left hand and not turning into the wrong lane !
