Any other cops (or former/retired cops) on the forum??

Curious if there are any Roadrunner owners who are fellow law enforcement types. If so, thank you for your service.

There is one I know of right now. We had two at one time but he sold his runner. That was a sad day we became good friends while he was restoring his runner at the same time as I was.

Steve,

You know you got me on the roster! I just hope we don't have to pay any Union dues... wait, do we have to pay Union dues?? Hahahah

It would be cool to have a few more LE on here.

I've got 32 years in, debating about retirement

 

[Bird Man Of AZ]

Hey Plybeep, what department/agency are you with??

I agree with Russ. Pull the pin and bail out into retirement. Plus, I know I don't need to tell you but these days are a terrible time to be in what was once our respected profession. With the current political and cultural climate, I couldn't imagine still being a cop. So, get that paperwork started, Brother!!

All right!! Thank you for your service, Brother. (But I still think you should consider retiring if you can.) Either way, stay safe.

At least you're maintaining your allegiance to high-performance Mopars!!



How do you like the Charger compared to other LE vehicles from your past?

 

[Plybeep68]

It's overall one of the better patrol cars I've driven, I've been in a Charger since 2007, this 2017 is the best handling, strong mid range, I had a 2012 that was the fastest at 156 MPH with the help of grade/elevation. First patrol car I drove was a very tired 1978 Monaco with a 440, then a 1988 Fury with a 318. Throw in a LTD and some Crown Vics. I even tried a 2021 Explorer

My favorite has always been the mid-90's Chevy Caprice Classic with the LT1 engine. It didn't have the top-end speed of the Charger, but I loved its handling, acceleration and overall ergonomic comfort. (That's me below in my issued LE driving instructor vehicle. circa 2007.)



I'm old school, so it's difficult for me watching the transition from the traditional sedans to the new trend of SUV's (Explorers & Tahoes). I feel the same way about the Harleys being phased out in favor of the recent Honda crotch-rockets. Yep, I'm an old sentimental dinosaur. Oh, well . . .
