Being a tech in school, I hear everyone saying that they can outrun an officer, but I always tell them they can't outrun a radio. They don't believe me.
I have!! It took some work and crazy driving, but I did it. Ended up parking in someone’s empty garage after a half an hour of crazy driving! Hoping they don’t come home while I waited out the cops!
Interesting to come back and watch this in June 2020. It hasn't aged terribly, but I don't know if it has aged well either. Also, having driven the ecoboost version a few years newer than this, I can say that it SCOOTS.
Agreed, I got to deliver one of those for a trade show, 500 miles of FUN! In fact this profile pic was taken with the red dome light for night vision preservation.
they first put them in the tarus sho which is called a sleeper 375 hp and that car is a jet starting price close to 50 racks back then they came in 3 different packages but all 3 had the same motor some had more luxuary but the ultimate one is the intercepter if u didnt mind loosing big rims and some luxuary the intercepter was made for the cops bigger breaks chiped plus tires and rims can jump curbs no problem shifter on colum lets u no its a cop car so manny more goodies if u can find a clean one u better jump on it💯percent worth it
It’s not completely different the parts that make the 3.5 and 3.7 are over 90% shared. Should of just said the 3.5 is the engine that came with the turbos instead of adding “iTs a CoMplEtly difFeRENT EnGiNe🥴”
Raouls Disturbed Clearly not paying attention because Max Weber is the bread and butter of any intro to socialogy course...or Mr. Regular's pronunciation of Weber threw him off. Weber was pronounced "Vay-ber."
Aaron Fink Well you might not have paid attention to your language classes, as you maybe didn't hear proper names do not have a fixed spelling or pronunciation. And it might depend of where you come from too. France's way of saying it is "Vëë-bèr".
I build the interceptor. The cross brace under the carpet in the rear of the vehicle is a piece of artwork. Every single nut, bolt and screw on Explorers and the Taurus is torqued to exact specs by computer monitored tools. Over 20,000 plus parts to build a single vehicle and we produce roughly 1 vehicle a minute. I work on these and robots. Ive been there six years now and can honestly say we have assembled 2,000+ hard working, dedicated employees and managers. I've learned so much with my company and the job never stops evolving... Can i get a HELL YEAH???!!
“Is it the former nerd who taking all the resentment of his bullied youth out on the local skate park?” **Slow rolls past group** **lights come on** “Yeah, yeah its that one”
I've been watching your reviews since the Cvpi "you want to look like a cop" video came out. I haven't driven most of the cars you review, but that vic and the utility I have. Both reviews are spot on. I'll say this for the explorer/Taurus though, they are great when people try to hit alleys or Gravel roads to get away. Those old vics were terrible on loose ground.
Fun fact the vics with the p71 police package can out handle the front wheel drive impala platform police package and the old real wheel drive caprice with ease...ppl think the impala front wheel drive is faster and handles better but it really doesn't ford did a really good job on the p71 package with the vic
@@jdubskiwright2380 Understatement of the year. The front drive impala went out if control more than any other car we had in pursuits. They handled like dog shit and got no better fuel economy than the big 8's. Plus the motor mounts went bad fast and if it wrecked good luck getting the front end straight enough for high speed again. Those things were straight trash.
As someone who's driven lots of these cop cars I have a question. I'm planning on Buying the interceptor utility 2015 as a daily driver, would you recommend? I think I'm just a geek about the setina rear bumper and the ecoboost.
@@hunterroberts7549 We never had the ecoboosts where I work. As far as the rest of the car be wary of accident damage. If it was never wrecked they tend to be solid cars, once the structure gets bent in a bad wreck though they get pretty sketchy at highway speeds.
I took a work trip to Erie, PA last year. Got an all-black Explorer XLT rental car at Pittsburgh and man, people consistently moved out of my way on the drive up to Erie. It was a weird feeling having everyone be wary of you like that.
because the Dodge offering is better, the charger is meh, but honestly it's a bigger car, more horsepower, more pull, has a meaner and leaner look, it's a better police car, as a car? i'd rather have a Taurus SHO or something like that.
rear room is important to police very difficult to get people in and out of the Taurus Also i've never seen a SHO police car other than the Auto show all are stock NA V6 i think the price tag 40K is a bit high on the SHO for most departments
I could listen to your writing for hours...and sometimes i do. Keep it up man, all of it. You make me feel a little less weird during my hours of isolation at my blue collar job.
The look I believe is something more simple than people's guilt. These cars are harder to tell if they are cops or not, same with the charger, but especially the ford SUV. people actually own the ford SUV & dodge charger in significant numbers, it's not just granny with the Vic. the ford is an SUV in a sea of SUVs so they blend really well the light bars on them are normally hidden I have yet to see a ford SUV cop car in my town that has the flood light so that's not visible in my state Many stations seem to have a more subtle paint scheme for the ford SUV for some reason, again maybe just my state
Problem with that: how many other blacked-out ford explorers in black have you seen on the road today? Bet you need at least both hands and feet. Ford was clever this time round
I drove an ambulance with the Cyclone twin turbo- it comes standard in most transit conversion vans now. Those Borg Warners make it really touchy down low, as they are ALWAYS spooling but they lean out once your revs go above ~3800 or so. It would be interesting to see what one with slightly larger turbos and a basic E85 tune could do.
That 3.7 V6 is the same as the outgoing Mustang V6, can get to 60 in around 5.3 in there, not a terrible engine considering it was about as fast as the 2010 GT.
HEY! I saw this car at MicroCenter in Radnor PA yesterday. The 3.7 Liter motor is not the EcoBoost motor. The Ecoboost is the 3.5 L motor. And that thing is slow compared to the our SHO.
I don't care what the younger generation people say about the police vehicles we have now. They will NEVER EVER be like Crown Victoria and its predecessors were. No big sturdy car with a V8, not a true police car. But that line "No one can outrun the radio" is 100% true.
There are two engine options. The 3.7 cyclone v6 as stated in the video. But, the ecoboost option is the same 3.5l twin turbo found in the Ford Taurus SHO/Police Interceptor/Lincoln MKS, the Ford Explorer Sport, and the Ford Flex. 365hp/350ft/lbs.
I thought everybody drove jacked 3/4 ton diesels there? Every time I see a jacked truck in my mirror doing a buck twenty in a 90 with no front plate I know what plate it's going to have when it passes me lol
They still use some of the P71s for the Alaska State Troopers up here around Anchorage. We have all the explorers and tauruses and chargers, but some of the P71s are still rolling around on active duty.
Power under the curve. If you don't understand dyno graphs, you won't understand the difference. Full torque by 2k RPMS on the turbo, linear power all the way through. Doesn't sound like much, but that 3.5TT is quick.
That's about the same you get out of the twin turbo setup the BMW 335/535 had several years ago, and the current "twin scroll" turbo setup it has now. It's a gain of about 50bhp over the naturally aspirated 328/528 model.
if you want the modern equivalent of the crown vic interceptor, where you use it to dress like a cop. the normal civilian explorer in white with black grille gets the job done
I hear cops who have been in high speed chases miss the crown vic bevause their low center of gravity made them handle better and tend to not roll. They also made great battering rams. These needed a bunch of modifications so they could corner at similar speeds. And have a high center of gravity like a truck because it is.
That's part of why Ford initially tried to sell the police on the Taurus Interceptor. Same AWD, similar springs, but a lower center of gravity and better handling out of the box. Unfortunately, it still wasn't as indestructible as the old Crown Victoria, because what modern car is?
I work on these interceptors. The cyclone V6 water pump is in the engine driven by the timing chain. When the pump seals go they leak out a special passage in the timing cover. As it gets worse coolant eventually leaks into the engine oil. At a point this destroys the engine. A classic sign is a low coolant reservoir just pause and look at the car in the video. This is a 10 hour job mind you.
IDK. I remember more celebrity still shots on magazine covers, and TV appearances. Can't remember many tunes. The dude came, conquered, and left. ( Kinda like Martin Lawrence?) Another factor is younger country artists are embracing Outlaw Country (because it is 'cool') and less the Pop Country (Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Travis Somtheing, etc) Garth was good, and huge!, but I'm not sure sales translates into legacy. More so in Country genre, than others.
Most of the towns up here have two to three Eco Boost Taurus police interceptors for use as radar/speed trap vehicles. The rest of their fleets are regular Explorer police Interceptors.
Putting turbos in police cars is kind of stupid when you think of it because those things need to be driven long distances on a daily basis so Putting a turbo in it would only make them wear out quicker in a vehicle that needs to last a long time
Where were you in my college years when I needed to phone it in and pay someone to tweak one of my poorly and hastily written papers? Sometimes I just listen to your reviews, waiting for that moment when you slide in one of those slippery similes or metaphors...so gratifying.
I love watching these videos because I know where all of these filming locations are. It's awesome how there's a channel that films regular cars in regular locations, like Kutztown and Bethlehem...
Ever since I started driving boring old people cars I never worry about cops. Last two times I was pulled over I was let go with a warning. It is a strange feeling to not flinch when I see an officer. Considering in my wild misspent youth I was constantly scanning for cops and looking over my shoulder.
I may be in the minority in my opinion here, but that a law abiding business/organization/group has to specifically and pointedly declare that they have a good relationship with the police says more to me about the state of police/community relations than the sociology lesson Mr. Regular threw out here.
Your opinion is in the minority for good reasons. RCR's statement says absolutely nothing about police-community relations, and rationalising otherwise is mere overthought. RCR's sociology lesson was based and good.
There's this weird community that goes around UA-cam and downvotes videos for no apparent reason. This is one of those videos for 220 people. 220 weird, sad, potentially dangerous people who have formed some loose cabal. We'll look back at this day from a future where the only laughter is the nervous kind. Keep up the great work!
I remember once I gunned it from a stoplight in my Civic to look over in terror to see a sheriff department Explorer chilling at the side of the road just to burst out laughing at the sight that only then had I reached speed limit
Yes, but only on Firefox. Maybe time isn't very exact on that browser or it's something they designed for cheating on benchmarks; "it's one second faster than any other browser on this video playback benchmark".
I just meant Duratec V6 is an older and more well-known engine than the Cyclone V6, so it was probably to help market it. The Cyclone engine replaced the Duratec, but Ford is still calling the Cyclone Duratec sometimes.
You didn't get it into "Pursuit" mode. At WOT, let off the gas then quickly step on it again. It goes into a remapped ECM program. All it really does, it dumps more fuel which later causes issues with the catalytic converters.
Well, this is a pretty fascinating contrast compared to now. People dehumanizing people is a pretty common thing and the anger and frustration at police comes from how police departments passively and or actively encourage this dehumanization of the people they're supposed to protect.
I honestly wish more police officers would be less brutal. To end the statistics. And innocent lives being taken away either to jail, or just taken away from this world
Schmidt34 Yeah, like Brothelsprouts says around June the dealerships start using NEXT year on all their new cars. I've lived here for so long I never even thought about that until you pointed it out. I guess the auto companies do it to make cars look newer than they really are (and thus more marketable). Maybe it helps drive up sales in the later half of the year or something.
From someone who owns a 2013 mustang with that motor in it, I can say that the motor even seems sluggish in that car. Yeah, it’s capped at 118mph, but even with it wasn’t, it doesn’t really have the top end grunt you want on highway pulls, unless of course you have modded it out, which is a good choice
The 2.0L ecoboost can manage a higher top speed, which is kinda sad. I've managed over 136, which was the top speed on my previous car, but since I added the top-specced mod chip to mine I've yet to find the top speed on this one. Maybe I'll drive it to the midwest some day so I can have loads of empty, straight highway to drive on and reach its top speed.
I'd love to try those out. A SGT in a neighboring agency has one and said he will flat out refuse any new car they try to give him. It's the only one I've seen in the entire state and it HAULS!
+Dodge 318 Cummins Ever think that's for a reason? They had tons of engine issues. There's a reason the crown vic (and panthers in general) were so much more successful - they have far fewer occurrences of showstopping issues. Unless you mean the new ones, those are good.
My department's oldest unit is a 2013 Ecoboost FPIU. The condition of this example is beautiful compared to ours. Door panels are warped, leather is torn, steering wheel has chunks taken out of about 1/4 of it, and more. Barely fit for duty but it's still chugging along at 150k miles.
It's actually sad in the literal definition of the word that anyone is such an incredible moron that they believe memorization and regurgitation of mostly useless information in order to pass various tests and quizzes is an accurate representation of human intelligence. It's a testament to how unintelligent they actually are, to believe something so obviously fallacious.
The new Ford Explorer IS the new Crown Vic. Every time you see one, you ask yourself: "Is that a cop?" And the 3.7 Cyclone is a great motor for a Mustang, but not much else. It makes decent power, but they really neutered it for the sake of gas mileage, mostly with the 2.73 gearing.
I generally refer to all late-model Ford Explorers, Police or Civilian, as the "Ford Copcar." They're either cops or soccer moms, both want you to slow down but only one can do anything about it. The Dodge Copcar (late-model Charger) is much more assured to be a cop though - they're also sold on the Civilian market but hardly anyone buys them. In both cases we all so wish they'd put different taillights on the police versions than the civilian versions.
You CAN outrun a radio, of course only in a specific scenario: in a rural area, cop doesn't see your plate, relatively close (~7 miles) to your hiding spot, know all the back roads, and don't plan on driving that car for a couple weeks, of course there's unseen variables such as having a unique and easy to identify as yours car, or if people rat you out in whatever context.
In my area, there's a shit ton of these that are totally blacked out, have a beautiful black metal flake paintjob, and all have stealth lights. The only "giveaway" is the matte black police badging that's hard to see unless you're right next to them. It's funny though because I've never seen any civvy cars with paint like that, it's a dead giveaway.
The Crown Vic will forever be etched into society as a figure of Law and Authority... nothing will ever come close to its masculine look and roaring V8! PSA to Police Departments, ditch the Ford Utility, stick with Tahoe's, Chargers, Challengers and CVPI's! - Sincerely, A Brit obsessed with the USA and it's LEO's :)
Tough being recognized as the stereotypical american enthusiast with old muscle cars that cant turn and big trucks that cant turn on oval tracks that dont turn- when living in NH means mountains galore and rally heaven..

They still use some of the P71s for the Alaska State Troopers up here around Anchorage. We have all the explorers and tauruses and chargers, but some of the P71s are still rolling around on active duty.
They put twin turbos on a 305 hp motor and only got an extra 60 horsepower out of it? What the actual hell? How much boost is it running? 4 pounds?
If I had to guess the rotating assembly probably can't take any more peak torque and live to tell about it.
Power under the curve. If you don't understand dyno graphs, you won't understand the difference. Full torque by 2k RPMS on the turbo, linear power all the way through. Doesn't sound like much, but that 3.5TT is quick.
cptnoremac I think the boosted one was the smaller 3.5, not the 3.7 cyclone.
yeah power under the curve, but the transmission is already good for keeping in the power. I'd say a twin scroll would do the job.

These videos are the best hidden gems on UA-cam. You could show these to anyone and they'd enjoy them, not just people into cars.
I wonder if RCR's views on the police have shifted on police over the years, be it in one direction or the other
Who cares about his views on cops? It's all about the cars!
I love that the video is 9minutes and 11 seconds long. you sir are a gift to us all. it's the little details I love.
The Leftovers!!!! This is officially the greatest UA-cam channel ever!
I own a P71, and there are plenty still in service around here, I get those looks all the time.
now that i look at it more at the front, reminds me of the mitsubishi montero
Soviet Labrador no wonder I like the Explorer.
Reminds me of a Ford Explorer
I work on these interceptors. The cyclone V6 water pump is in the engine driven by the timing chain. When the pump seals go they leak out a special passage in the timing cover. As it gets worse coolant eventually leaks into the engine oil. At a point this destroys the engine. A classic sign is a low coolant reservoir just pause and look at the car in the video. This is a 10 hour job mind you.
3:58 I know a few things that can ;)
exactly what i was thinking
I've watched so many on your videos but this one really showcases your depth of intellect.
As a Tulsan I can name a few Garth Brooks songs. Thunder rolls was my favorite growing up.

IDK. I remember more celebrity still shots on magazine covers, and TV appearances. Can't remember many tunes. The dude came, conquered, and left. ( Kinda like Martin Lawrence?) Another factor is younger country artists are embracing Outlaw Country (because it is 'cool') and less the Pop Country (Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks, Travis Somtheing, etc) Garth was good, and huge!, but I'm not sure sales translates into legacy. More so in Country genre, than others.
Most of the towns up here have two to three Eco Boost Taurus police interceptors for use as radar/speed trap vehicles. The rest of their fleets are regular Explorer police Interceptors.
Should try the twin turbo one. We have a few at work and they're a huge difference
Putting turbos in police cars is kind of stupid when you think of it because those things need to be driven long distances on a daily basis so Putting a turbo in it would only make them wear out quicker in a vehicle that needs to last a long time
man. they are retiring already? man. i remember when they came out back in 2013 and 2014.
Where were you in my college years when I needed to phone it in and pay someone to tweak one of my poorly and hastily written papers? Sometimes I just listen to your reviews, waiting for that moment when you slide in one of those slippery similes or metaphors...so gratifying.
Oh crap I forgot it's monday already. Didn't see that coming.
Hey, stop watching RCR and make more videos.
Thanks.
I love watching these videos because I know where all of these filming locations are. It's awesome how there's a channel that films regular cars in regular locations, like Kutztown and Bethlehem...
Sucks that they had to retire the crown Vic
Ever since I started driving boring old people cars I never worry about cops. Last two times I was pulled over I was let go with a warning. It is a strange feeling to not flinch when I see an officer. Considering in my wild misspent youth I was constantly scanning for cops and looking over my shoulder.
alot of explorer police suv's died this past week...
Yep. Buddy of mine was flying when the rear suspension gave out. Needles to say ford gave the whole department new vehicles.
I may be in the minority in my opinion here, but that a law abiding business/organization/group has to specifically and pointedly declare that they have a good relationship with the police says more to me about the state of police/community relations than the sociology lesson Mr. Regular threw out here.
Your opinion is in the minority for good reasons. RCR's statement says absolutely nothing about police-community relations, and rationalising otherwise is mere overthought. RCR's sociology lesson was based and good.
This is the absolute best video I've seen on this channel. And I've seen many, this video speaks to everyone on so many levels.
Those foos be high af on the sidewalk tripping balls lol
Ugh.
The fuck's a foos? Or is it foo when singular?
There's this weird community that goes around UA-cam and downvotes videos for no apparent reason. This is one of those videos for 220 people. 220 weird, sad, potentially dangerous people who have formed some loose cabal. We'll look back at this day from a future where the only laughter is the nervous kind.
Keep up the great work!
The official car of guys named Steve.
Holy crap that's hilarious!
mikemorr100 the part literally passed right when I read this
I remember once I gunned it from a stoplight in my Civic to look over in terror to see a sheriff department Explorer chilling at the side of the road just to burst out laughing at the sight that only then had I reached speed limit
Video is 9:11 for a police car LOL
*9'10" on Chrome.
9:10 on Firefox
pickatchew that's weird. 9:11 on mobile
Yes, but only on Firefox. Maybe time isn't very exact on that browser or it's something they designed for cheating on benchmarks; "it's one second faster than any other browser on this video playback benchmark".
came to the comments for this
Behind that windshield is a GED.
It probably says Duratec because the police are always looking for something old and familiar. Especially if they're afraid of an EcoBoost.
Zzyzx Wolfe Isn't the 3.5 duratec also pretty reliable?Asking because my explorer has one
I just meant Duratec V6 is an older and more well-known engine than the Cyclone V6, so it was probably to help market it. The Cyclone engine replaced the Duratec, but Ford is still calling the Cyclone Duratec sometimes.
most people hear eco boost and think it's something to save gas and make the car slower
You didn't get it into "Pursuit" mode. At WOT, let off the gas then quickly step on it again. It goes into a remapped ECM program. All it really does, it dumps more fuel which later causes issues with the catalytic converters.
2013 or 2014? 🤔🤔
Well, this is a pretty fascinating contrast compared to now. People dehumanizing people is a pretty common thing and the anger and frustration at police comes from how police departments passively and or actively encourage this dehumanization of the people they're supposed to protect.
"RCR has a positive relationship with the police because we're not BROOOWN."
The last part of the video was golden. Nice take Mr. Regular.
I honestly wish more police officers would be less brutal. To end the statistics. And innocent lives being taken away either to jail, or just taken away from this world
2013 in title? 2014 in video?
theswedenmalmo Probably a 2013-made 2014 model year.
Maybe who knows
Americans count very strange. In Europe if a car is 2016, it is on the street in 2016. In the US it would be made in 2016 and therefore be 2017. afaik
Anything made around June or after is typically counted as the NEXT year's model vehicle in the States
Schmidt34 Yeah, like Brothelsprouts says around June the dealerships start using NEXT year on all their new cars. I've lived here for so long I never even thought about that until you pointed it out.
I guess the auto companies do it to make cars look newer than they really are (and thus more marketable). Maybe it helps drive up sales in the later half of the year or something.
From someone who owns a 2013 mustang with that motor in it, I can say that the motor even seems sluggish in that car. Yeah, it’s capped at 118mph, but even with it wasn’t, it doesn’t really have the top end grunt you want on highway pulls, unless of course you have modded it out, which is a good choice
The 2.0L ecoboost can manage a higher top speed, which is kinda sad. I've managed over 136, which was the top speed on my previous car, but since I added the top-specced mod chip to mine I've yet to find the top speed on this one. Maybe I'll drive it to the midwest some day so I can have loads of empty, straight highway to drive on and reach its top speed.
good video, those interceptors are fun to be in.
I like how they have had radios for a long time and still get left in the dust and never catch people ALL THE TIME
As a regular driver of this kind of car, I call BS on the 140 something top speed. TOPS I can hit 110 going down slight hill on the highway
from what i can tell these things feel slower than the vic
ChuckleFuckleBee this has a lot more room and tech involved and generally makes a better patrol car, however I'd swap it in a second for my old CVPI
jared mitchell id rather have the Chevy caprice police car but no departments use them.
I'd love to try those out. A SGT in a neighboring agency has one and said he will flat out refuse any new car they try to give him. It's the only one I've seen in the entire state and it HAULS!

Ever think that's for a reason? They had tons of engine issues. There's a reason the crown vic (and panthers in general) were so much more successful - they have far fewer occurrences of showstopping issues.
Unless you mean the new ones, those are good.
My department's oldest unit is a 2013 Ecoboost FPIU. The condition of this example is beautiful compared to ours. Door panels are warped, leather is torn, steering wheel has chunks taken out of about 1/4 of it, and more. Barely fit for duty but it's still chugging along at 150k miles.
"oh look at me I went to college"
-Mr. regular
Found the GED boy.
It's actually sad in the literal definition of the word that anyone is such an incredible moron that they believe memorization and regurgitation of mostly useless information in order to pass various tests and quizzes is an accurate representation of human intelligence. It's a testament to how unintelligent they actually are, to believe something so obviously fallacious.
The new Ford Explorer IS the new Crown Vic. Every time you see one, you ask yourself: "Is that a cop?"
And the 3.7 Cyclone is a great motor for a Mustang, but not much else. It makes decent power, but they really neutered it for the sake of gas mileage, mostly with the 2.73 gearing.
I will still take my crown vic any day.
I generally refer to all late-model Ford Explorers, Police or Civilian, as the "Ford Copcar." They're either cops or soccer moms, both want you to slow down but only one can do anything about it. The Dodge Copcar (late-model Charger) is much more assured to be a cop though - they're also sold on the Civilian market but hardly anyone buys them. In both cases we all so wish they'd put different taillights on the police versions than the civilian versions.
That ending quote was absolutely breathtaking Mr. Regular. A lot of us need to hear that in a world so divided. Excellent work.
I love how you brought up Weber. I knew my sociology degree would come in handy one day.
8:01 This is a good message. I wish more people my age would realize this.
He just says this shit for political correctness
@@nnass262 he's right tho
@@nnass262 you seriously think Mr Regular is PC?
@@nnass262 if “police officers are humans” is too PC for you, talk to a therapist
You CAN outrun a radio, of course only in a specific scenario: in a rural area, cop doesn't see your plate, relatively close (~7 miles) to your hiding spot, know all the back roads, and don't plan on driving that car for a couple weeks, of course there's unseen variables such as having a unique and easy to identify as yours car, or if people rat you out in whatever context.
luv you Mr. Regular
lets hope we get a reply!
I replied! congrats
Make a trap and put shemale porn as the bait.
In my area, there's a shit ton of these that are totally blacked out, have a beautiful black metal flake paintjob, and all have stealth lights. The only "giveaway" is the matte black police badging that's hard to see unless you're right next to them. It's funny though because I've never seen any civvy cars with paint like that, it's a dead giveaway.
The Crown Vic will forever be etched into society as a figure of Law and Authority... nothing will ever come close to its masculine look and roaring V8!
PSA to Police Departments, ditch the Ford Utility, stick with Tahoe's, Chargers, Challengers and CVPI's!
- Sincerely, A Brit obsessed with the USA and it's LEO's :)
A brit obsessed with the US in a non-negative way?! Thank you! someone from across the pond that doesn't loathe us!
I'm obsessed with y'all in so many non-negative ways.
I wish I was one of you! :)
Tough being recognized as the stereotypical american enthusiast with old muscle cars that cant turn and big trucks that cant turn on oval tracks that dont turn- when living in NH means mountains galore and rally heaven..
Old muscle cars, big trucks, and mountains are what I dream of... if that's a stereotypical American enthusiast then I'd gladly jump on board!
Oh, well the only thing keeping me here is the laws, (or lack thereof) and environment. I much prefer the cars of a smaller size and weight- Japanese, British, and German- MR2, First gen impreza, Lotus Exige, and e36 m3 are just a few examples...
lol, "...A head with a brain in it... and maybe a dog in the back" is the best thing I have heard in a long time for some reason xD
Mr regular doesn't seem too excited today?? :)
Poland Garage no cocaine
Devin Tariel lol
Poland Garage I have a feeling he didn't want to be too RCR when there's an official person and fire department attached to the whole thing.
No shemales
I feel like this is why the majority of us subbed to this channel. That wisdom those beautiful words you said. God damn!
