    Go sit in a CH-R at your local Toyota dealer. But with all the lane assist cameras and what not, who needs to see anyways?

    It's less Tacoma and more mod
    I'm not a fan of any of the modern ones really. If I was forced to buy something sporty from the Big 3 it would be a Corvette, because at least the C7 is a proper sports car, powerful and it can handle.

    I like the new camaros solely because you dont see anyone else driving them. Id feel like I own something different. Whereas everyone and their brother in my city has a V6 charger :rolleyes:. And they all do their best to clone them into cop cars so people move out of their way.

    Wait really, you don't see Camaros everywhere... Its like the official retirement car in AZ, I can't go a block without seeing a current gen camaro (which BTW is also a really old design now, almost 9 years)

    Nope. The dodge charger is the official car of NC it seems. But all our cities are pretty ghetto so that explains it imo. Big rims everywhere if you catch my drift...

    AZ highway patrol is getting slick, I see stock RAMs, random Hyundai models, some stock ford sedans... no antennas, no gov't plates. They've really upped their undercover unit count recently

    Our highway patrol office is starting to use alloys. And even non state tags. Just a normal NC tag but with the letters being SHP

    I always have to remind my self that the East is pretty different about their car preferences too. On the west coast, especially in Cali and WA, you really don't see that many American things that aren't trucks or cheapo economy trash like Cruzes and whatnot. Most west coasters prefer Imports whether it be Euro luxury or Japanese and Korean sensibility.

    Nice choice. I've always like the Superwinch, great reliability and solid product. Can't go wrong with your choices in winch and rope

    The east coast has taught me that I can usually tell the persons race by what they drive. Not that thats bad or anything, different strokes for different folks as they say.

    Ive seen cop cars in the form of


    Chargers
    Crown Vics
    Traverse's
    Exploders
    Cruzes
    Malibus
    Fusions
    Grand caravans
    Ram 1500's
    etc.

    Most are undercover, which I think is BS. Used to be protect and serve, now its hide and catch. :mad:

    Innocent until proven guilty has turned into guilty until proven innocent imo. Unmarked cop cars used for anything other than detective work represents that imo.

    Looks like the Cajon pass. I loved taking my bike from mounting top to Silverwood when I lived in wrightwood.
