I've seen at least two, both painted non-metallic black. Plus one city is using the standard Crown Vic, but with a taxi-light on the roof! It doesn't say "TAXI" though, it just has a big phone-number. You need to get up close before you see that, in /very/ small letters above the phone-number, it says "POLICE". And the phone-number is that of the local cops. Bastards. -- Tegger

The Wake County NC Sheriff's Department has a Corvette they use. I have seen it pull over a car. It was a drug seizure. I persoanlly think the Sheriff should be voted out of office for keeping it. In theory it should have been sold the Corvette and turned the money over to the local school system (NC rule). Instead the Sheriff kept the Corvette and uses it as a play toy. I've never like the idea that law enforcement can sieze things becasue of some hypothetical connection to a crime, and this case is, at least in my mind, especially disgusting.
