johnny law lays low

Yesterday I had my first encounter with the the Austin Police Department's new stealth cars. I had heard about them, but never seen them on the road. Of course, maybe I HAD seen one, but it was too stealthy to be recognized. *shivver*

The undercopper pulled someone over a quarter mile ahead of me, which was fortunate given my 80mph clip. At first, I couldn't tell where the flashing lights were coming from, but then I saw that they were emanating from inside this jet black cruiser. I blew by pretty quickly, but I think it was just your typical Ford Crown Vic police unit decked out with a Mother's Tint and Interior Lighting special.



Frankly, I'm not sure how "stealthy" these cars are. I usually slow down whenever I see any white, black, or champaign Crown Vic, because it's either a cop or an elderly driver. Either way, it's safest to take note and watch your ass.
