As for the Crown Sic...is pretty sick! But put a blower on the IS F and it's Crown Sic FTL.
Yes..I have actually seen the trunk.... Done several ride alongs and worked with the PD on some things...And a good buddy of mine has a service contract with 3 PD's to wash their fleet at his establishment.

Saw one over the weekend, all black, no marking and no roof lights.

Be careful out there.

From what he told me the cop thought he was drunk or had something to hide because he was the only person going the speed limit on the 15 coming back from Vegas.

He was probably trying to maximize his mpg by keeping a steady pace.

Speed limit is a sure way for me not to get a ticket. It only cost me 30 min extra vs driving at 85mph.

I'm like 95% sure one swooped up behind all slick on my way home tonight. I was heading east on Colima then north on Azusa so I could hop onto the 60 East. As soon as I made a left onto Azusa from Colima, I see a Charger all ready for police duty. Caught me off guard... that's for sure.
