In the series, they used the standard issue police car, a 70s Ford LTD Crown Victoria. To reflect this, try looking at the standard japanese police vehicles at the time. Several Mitsubishi vehicles in the 90s were outfitted for police use, such as the Lancer, Galant and GTO, but I think what has the proper 'feel' is a 72-76 Toyota Mark II sedan

As for Boss Hogg's car, they used a Cadillac Coupe DeVille so it should reflect that sense of 'luxury' that such a character would think of. Might be kind of tricky to get the car's 'character' right, but an early Mitsubishi Galant Lamda coupe feels pretty close

What a waste!

What a waste! Waste of a car and how much time did it it take to build the roll cage to destroy it so casually.

I think I would have stood a little farther back, like 50 yards. An RX-7 trying to do a jump while people are around it like you see in rallies, nothing could go wrong there...

I thought that was my car on the far side of yours for a second... , thought I was having a senior moment there, as I'm pretty sure I neither the car nor I had been in Florida lately.

Then I noticed it's wearing Coopers and has stock seats & FB trim.

Maybe I'll go your route for ground effects. I was gonna buy a body kit for it but I like how that looks way more. Still has a stock look just..better lol. Only thing that seemed better about a body kit was getting rid of those heavy *** bumpers.

Have a friend in Orlando FL who has the confederate flag painted on the tail gate of his monster truck. He and his friends weren't worried about backlash at all when I brought it up.

Does the general ree horn play dixie?
