Now if only we could pull out a win against Citroen in WRC.

Hmm, the French display good taste for once.

The best police patrol vehicle I have seen so far was a Porsche 944 turbo. He was persuing a VW Corrado on the autobahn near Cologne. Needless to say, the persuit didn't last long.

I'm sorry, but the charger with police package would scare me into submission a lot more than a rex http://www.cnn.com/2006/AUTOS/funonw...ops/index.html that's one mean looking cop car.
