    Wow, those are all cool. But what in the world is that thing across the hood of the Skyline??


    The new Chargers are EVERYWHERE around here. And the vast majority of them unmarked. Look IDENTICAL to the civilian models. I find it very irritating. :mad: :p And of course we had a few Camaro cop cars here a while back.

    Yesterday I saw a first for me: a ~2000 Mustang cop car.

    Of course, we have a few Durango and Tahoe cop cars around, too.

    I have no idea what the paint scheme looks like, as I've not seen one, but my friend who goes to college says he's seen a WRX STi cop car up there in the mountains.

    Why would they ever need those in Japan? Aren't the speed limits all 50 or 55 on the freeway there? I remember a trip across country that was just endless and boring!

    Yes, they do, but they have quite a few Passats as well!

    I don't think cops have to usually worry about those who are abiding by the laws. ;)

    In all my time in Japan, I don't think we were ever passed once while driving at the legal limit ... for hours and hours BTW ... and exactly, not just "more or less" like we all do here in L.A. They might have to wait a long long time for the "bad guys", and when they find them, they might need to borrow a German or Italian Pleaze Car instead!

    most japanese drive insanely slow, most of the time its the Americans(us) doing the speeding out here. Average city speed is 50 clicks(31mph)and on the expressways(same as our freeways but you pay to use them) about 80 clicks (50mph). The kicker that I hate here is that theres too many dang on traffic lights. Imagine going that speed and stopping at a traffic light every half a block, if that. Sux, and I get completely frustrated. Needless to say when Im on the MV(motorcycle) Im a completely different animal riding the middle lane and getting the hell out of dodge. And those police cars you have posted here are not used on a daily basis, they use the regular ole minicars for daily driving.

    I've never once seen a cool French Police Car (mostly ordinary family cars or vans with economical diesel engines). They always use BMW motorbikes for any fast stuff (and roller blade patrols in big cities).

    If you're speeding, they just take your picture and send it to you with the fine (including hidden radar in unmarked moving cars). On freeways, they mostly just wait for you at the next toll gate so they don't even need the fast bikes.
