Here in the good ol' south, the city police use Ford Taurus' and Crown
Victorias, the sheriff uses Crown Vics and Chevy Caprices.  The State
Troopers use Crown Vics and Ford Mustang LX 5.0L, both with low-profile
light bars.  Gee, I wonder if that 'Stang I see in the distance wants to
race....  Oh, SH*T! Was that a light bar on that 'Stang!?! ;-)
