Ya i've seen that. Except a guy stole a white fb and ran. Then he crashed it. I was mad. Why would you use it for undercover? It would just get banged up

Maybe the cop was just as obsessed with his seven as most of us are, and wanted to be able to legally drive it fast everywhere?

I haven't seen that on yet. That's what I would do if I was a cop LOL. I did though see two FB's on the Weather Channel a few weeks ago. One was in a flood and the other one was being pushed out of water by the owner LOL

There was an older cops episode where they are chasing some idiot with a red FC trying to run.... in RAIN. Naturally, the chase ends when the moron guns it around a wet turn and spins in a circle.

I've actually seen quite a few rx-7's driving in the background of COPS videos. I think I saw one get partially hit by a drunk in a pickup truck.

If I were a cop, no way in hell would I use an RX-7. Better to use a good sturdy pickup truck with a strong motor.

They actually mentioned on COPS one time about how pickup trucks lead teh longest chases because they are the middle of the road between power and durability.

Firebirdslayer, Thats not funny, its an rx7.

On one episode i saw a guy running over cars, broke through a rv and was running from the cops with a m1 tank!! That would be soo freaking scary if you were watching something and then a tank rolls by crushing cars. Man, I don't know how he would be able to drive that and control it and even get in there. Atleast everybody was fine
