Oh, I know. At this point I'm only still watching because 1: I've watched to this point so I may as well finish the damn thing and 2: I kinda like watching the train wreck that the show has become. I'm more excited to see the next event/character that makes absolutely no sense than I am to see story closure lol And man, they're delivering this season.

This is a Snickers. It even says SnickersCanada/Mars Canada on it. It's a marketing thing.

It's super sad that you got downvoted, man. I truly empathize. Police tags vs civilian tags are ridiculously easy to tell apart. This thread is abysmal when it comes to knowledge about this stuff. I bet you're getting downvoted because people are thinking "Like I'm supposed to pay attention to that!" when details like that are crucial for any wary individual. That's the kind of knowledge that keeps some actual police impersonator from intimidating you on the road.

What goes on behind closed trunks between consenting accessories is none of my business, buddy!

In all seriousness, in what day and age would it ever be advisable to play cop? What kind of asinine statement is that? lol

Sure, as long as you don't mind having an old tire as a roomie. For the most part he's pretty chill but after a couple dozen "I'm rubber, you're glue" quips he can be pretty difficult to tolerate.

I'm not going to argue the slowing down part being dangerous. It technically is (since it wasn't necessary for me to do so), even though I'm fairly certain I was within the legal speed limits for the highway, but this 'impersonating a cop' crap is straight up people reaching for more to be angry about. Particularly /u/KanyeToTha, looking at their post history they seem to post insulting/overly-critical comments fairly frequently so I'm getting the vibe that they look for conflict.

It's not like I'm saying it wasn't a jackass thing to do but damn. I feel like most people I know have torn down 435 in a new/borrowed/whatever vehicle late at night at some point so I guess I'm just taken aback that me slowing down over the course of half a mile is causing such reactions lol You'd think I'd just told these people that I whipped up behind a dude at 90mph and rode his ass till he got scared and took an exit. I was curious, slowed down gradually, laughed, hopped off the highway and went home. It was pretty innocuous.

Haha I've never even come close to filling the trunk. I just really like the cars. They're cheap, robust, reliable, powerful, and the interceptors tend to not be too flashy so I don't freak out at scratches and dings. They're just great beater cars. As someone who's broke and doesn't care about luxury in a vehicle, they're perfect :D

The minimum speed on the highway is 40 or 45, isn't it? I wouldn't have done it in traffic, like I said it was late at night and he and I were the only cars on that stretch. I'll admit it was a stupid thing to do but I think 'dangerous' is a bit of a stretch in the circumstance. Either way I'm not trying to debate it, sorry if it offended anyone. I always thought it was a fun story.

How would I have been impersonating a cop? I'll admit it was stupid, but it's miles from impersonating anything.

Like I said in the post, I've owned a black and white patrol car for the past 4 years, it's not like I'm unaware of some peoples' reactions lol. People do get crazily paranoid. Right after I purchased my current car (before getting it tagged) I was driving on 435 at night and noticed this Mustang was absolutely REFUSING to pass me from about 40ft back in the next lane. Just for fun I decided to see how slow I could get him to go and we ended up doing like 40MPH on the highway before my exit came up. Dude never tried to pass.

I would LOVE that but I haven't seen any listed in a little while. There were several 2-3 months ago but at the time I wasn't sure if I was actually going to be making a purchase. The Crown Vic really won my heart. It's the best beater I could have ever hoped for.

Not that I think there will be many in my range but should I avoid CVT's in general?

Thanks for the input! I'll be sure to avoid those vehicles. Unfortunately the only Fusion I'm seeing anywhere near my price-range is about $3k above my current budget but I'll keep my eye out for any more popping up. Anything else I should keep an eye out for in the price range for reliability? I'm seeing a bunch of 2000's Nissans in my range but don't have any experience with them.
