- Recently, one of the cities around LA (Alhambra or Monterey Park, I'm not
- sure) just got their new fleet of Cheverolet Caprice Jurasic police cars.
- The first Friday night saw them out in flocks, just cruising around.
- Then two of them met at a stop light and the cops stuck their heads out
- of the windows and yelled at each other. When the light turned green
- for them, they both floored it and raced down to the next light and had
- a great laugh. No lights flashing, no sirens, just a lot of noise and
- about 4 tons of vehicles hurtling down a busy street.
- I wish I had a camcorder at the time.
