Default new LAPD cars
Today I saw a new Chevy Impala marked for LAPD. This was a first, as for the last ten+ years it's been all Crown Vics. Did they buy a bunch or was this a one-off? Got to memorize those headlights!

I've spend the last 12 years of my life memorizing the Caprice and Crown Vic headlights.

I'll have to get used to the Charger and the Impala now I guess.

Yeah! Even worse are taxis on the freeway at night. Can't tell if they are cops until they are right up next to you.

You should see all the cars they have around here.

For a while my friends and I had a running list w. colors, exact models, license plates, areas each particular car would frequent ...

I thought Cali was broke. I guess not. This is probably not the best time in the history of the state to e spending millions on new cop cars
