- Wrong place to move! When I was down in Florida on spring break two years
- ago, I must of seen 10 COMPLETELY UNMARKED LX 5.0s in Florida.... Luckily,
- I was in tons of traffic so I wasn't doing the 85mph avg. that I'd gone the
- rest of the way down!!! These cars weren't just black or white, either...
- I saw one metallic blue and a bright red one too! Very hard to tell they're
- pigs until you get right ontop of them and see the goofy hats! (or the riot
- gun on the fence behind the front seat! :^) )
-
- BTW, 'interceptor' is just a designation given to higher performance persuit
- vehicles... For instance RI has a few RS Camaro interceptors with the B4C
- option, which is basically a 1LE with Air... Damn things supposed to do sub-
- 14s quarter-mile, too! That's as scary as the Syclone, since the B4C RS will
- outhandle and outbrake the Pig-Phoon, and probably outrun it on the highway!
