Geek post #1: Dodge Charger police car

I just can't hold this back any more. I got to post a blog about this new cop car. When I started seeing them in my side-view mirrors my heart skipped in terror at the site of its grille, aggressive stance, and of course, you know "Its got a Hemi." I read an article about the new car. The positives are:
  1. More powerful engine
  2. Rear wheel drive, like the Ford Crown Victoria
  3. Better brakes
  4. More fuel efficient
  5. More toys in the siren, a blast feature, which sets down a bass vibration through the street
The negative:
  1. Smaller trunk

Across from The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Highway Patrol car, uh where is the highway officer?

The police are facing the same problem as the taxi industry, as the Ford Crown Victoria slowly fades away. For a few years the department was purchasing Chevrolet Impalas, which sucked. The Impala doesn't strike fear in anybody, and it looks like a shit box after a year.

So far the most likely place to see the Charger is in Midtown, especially if its leading a police escort for a diplomat or elected official, or especially on 5th Avenue, where all the tourists go shopping. Right now they are the supermodels of the police cars, but soon they may become ubiquitous across parts of North America where it doesn't snow all the time.
