At least no one from California was so stupid they had to ask the rest of this BBS if the article was true or not

 From the Golden Gate PCA region web page: www.pca-ggr.org: "Picture of the Month After 3 years as TT Chairman, Chris Murray has decided to pursue a career in law enforcement. This was after he was lead to believe he could use his own car in high speed chases. Ever optimistic, Chris took it upon himself to outfit his car. Picture: Harold Williams " This is actually Chris Murray's concept Cayman. If you look closely, you will notice that this is a boxter with a real roof, not a factory hard top. I think I remember that the car had help with more than a boxter power plant? Last edited by aigel; 06-29-2005 at 12:14 AM.. |

I sense a photoshop... and Nowwegotcha is just too easy! One good tip to recognize the photoshop is by looking at the front valance/bumper area. There is no shadow, and there looks to be a painted black line where the shadow is supposed to be.

Sorry I call Bull**** on that....CHP or any American Police agency would never make a Cabrio as a cop car.
Further more a Porsche no less? Taxpayers would be screaming at their local congressman....now there is a good source of taxpayer's money....they would buy a GTO or Mustang way before a Boxster. Yasin

Clearly bull****. The mullet reference should make that plain.
In the 1970's and '80's the 911 Targa was the police vehicle of choice on the German autobahns. It was always a wonderful sight to see the go screaming by.

I was actually wishing it was true so if I ever get pulled over by one they would be more understanding. A Porsche pulled over by a Porsche, wouldn't it be nice.

I think it would be funny to hear the CHP *****ing about the rear main seal failures and total engine replacements at 40k.

Well, up here we do see stupid crap like that. The cops will sport around in whatever vehicle, which they can confiscate, as part of their fleet. Ya know, to make the cops look as cool  as the drug dealers. (some such excuse; I think that they just like driving something different . ..then they sell it at auction.)

Banned but not out, yet..

Talking about 'cool' confiscated cop cars... saw a Hyundi Elantra being used as an 'unmarked' by the State Patrol on I-90. How's that for being invisible? Add that to their unmarked SUVs, Volvo Wagons, Impalas, 2 cabs (not as in cabriolets), and whatever else they can get their hands on. The only tip off is blacked-out windows.

Cops up here have been spotted in Volvo V70R's, Jaguar XKRs, Mercedes 430 SUVs along with an assortment of other Detroit iron sleepers.
