........ I always thought this was weird.... i can remember being younger and hearing about ladies who got pulled over by unmarked cars and a uniformed person raped them etc..... You would think they would have to have something to identify their cars as a police car.... but come to think of it here in Oklahoma the only the way i can tell some of them is by their license plate... hmmm

I was coming down from a crack high the day I was right beside one, but I could have sworn that it was an F350. Do the 150s come in crewcab?

They've had those since sometime in 2006 I believe.
Still not as sneaky as the puke brown 1997 Dodge Durango they use for radar. Sonovabitch.

Really? I can't believe I've never noticed them before. Usually I can spot a cop a mile away. Next thing you know they'll start driving rice rockets.

I've seen them drive late 80 broncos... so they may ALREADY be driving rice rockets.

Celebrated Square Root Day
|
A few years ago we saw one downtown that was a pink mid-ninties chevy blazer. However, I'm sure that was specifically for dowtown drug busts, as we saw them pull over, get out and take down some shady guy near the Cecil.

Yeah, I've seen the trucks for a couple years now, and as previously mentioned, I don't think you can even rely on them always being white (the autos!) any more.

I too saw one of these for the first time on the weekend, and thought it was bigger than the F150.
I wondered why the pickup was slowing down to a stop on Memorial underneath the Zoo overpass; I was thinking vehicles coming up from behind will be annoyed at the joker stopped. When I went by I noticed the blue light flashing through the grill and figured it must be a police vehicle.
I saw teh Colorado a couple years ago. I wouldn't have known it for a police vehicle until it turned it's lights on (the guy who passed him on the right while going through a construction zone probably regretted it).

Oh yeah, those sneaky RCMP in BC must have a deal with Avis or something, I saw a red Grand Prix pulling over a van of guys in Surrey about a year ago.
