>>>"Get an old Crown Vic and paint 'INS' on it and park it near the dweeb's restaurant."

Now there's a novel solution: fleets of old Crown Vics cruising worker pickup sites across the U.S.

Finally a way to salvage the private market's preferred choice of cabbies and salesmen during the 70's and 80's.

Here's comments (from MotorTrend):

"A [2006] black LX Sport looks a lot like an unmarked police car, so other drivers often will slow down and move to the right lane when you come up behind them, an extremely useful feature for highway commuters.

...if your ultimate goal is to play “Hawaii Five-O” or be Travis Bickle, the Crown Vic is definitely the car for you—at least until the police version of the Charger hits the streets.

A definitive American sedan, the Crown Victoria appeals most to drivers who remember first-hand the classic cars from the 1960s. Otherwise, the Crown Vic is best left to the professionals."

They forgot to mention that for the younger crowd, the Crown Vic still has a bench seat in the front for convenient Friday night smooching.

Back in the early 90's, my father in law had a Chevy Caprice Classic, which was the car also used by the Pennsylvania State Police at the time. Needless to say, he used to "play" with a lot of drivers, and some would actually pull over to let him by.
