    You guys and gals are all over the place and see many, many State Police and Highway Patrol cars. What is the best looking and hardest to spot? I've had many discussions with my co-workers and just wondered what you thought.

    Best looking? On the side with a 4-wheeler capture!

    Hardest to spot? The one on your six!

    I knew that would be the response I got. Had a driver tell me that yesterday when we were talking about it.

    The new Mustangs that many agencies (i.e. Indiana State Police) are running are pretty hard to spot.

    Best looking? I think the black and golds of IN are pretty sharp, but would have to agree with ironpony.

    I was going to say the Nevada Highway Patrol with their Mustangs. Plus California had at one time a drag car set up that really looked sharp.

    I like the Michigan ones with the old school "gumball" light on top and the clear "STOP" plate down the hood. They have some Chargers without the gumball I have seen and they just look mean.

    The best unmarked cop car I ever saw was in North Carolina on I-85 west of Charlotte. Was a plain looking Grand Marquis that was tan with a brown vinyl top. Didn't see any lights on it. Looked like a "grandpa's" car, even had "Worlds best Grandpa" and North Carolina Tar Heels hats in the rear windshield. A car went blowing by us and the lights went on. In the grill, in the windshield, in the mirrors. They were hid well. I especially loved the hats in the back window though.

    how about the TN DOT yukons/tahoes? they are the badest lookin ones iv ever seen, and even they are are " plain wrappers " very easy to point out.... id love to get onwership of one of their old ones...:biggrin_25520:

    but how about going throu washington state, they pull a car/truck over, turn off their lights, and put the 4 way flashers on, just looks like 2 cars stopped on the side of the road, unless the highway patrolman was standing outside youd never know it was a cop...
