i miss that intersection :(

Of course Richmond would be quick to get them, what else they gonna chase after C-lais in... old crown vics? :troll:

seen quite a few of those tauruses in rmd lately. Looks odd in the white IMO...

Im much more intimidated by looking at a Charger, it gives me the same fear when I see a crown vic, makes me give it a second look to confirm if its a cop car or not.

How many have you seen? There is currently only ONE in all of Richmond lol. You must be seeing the same one.

JoshuaWong 08-30-2013 02:58 PM

According to him, its the first and only one right now. He was pretty pleased with it, his partner in the crown vic... not so much! :lawl:

Delta isn't Richmond RCMP. Delta is Delta Police.

Delta police all have never cars. Actually I haven't seen a delta police crown Vic in a while.

No love for the Caprice in Canada :lawl:

punkwax 08-31-2013 04:30 PM

Good!

Seems like a lot of young ppl are driving ex-police crown vics lately.. always slow down when I notice the black wheels and a couple of times now it's some young dude with his hat backwards cruising by :lol

twitchyzero 08-31-2013 05:03 PM

lol that 'meet' pic with the new Taurus is pretty awesome

Yeah tell me about it...there's always a Mercury Grand Marquis parked at the hill coming up Renfrew and 22nd Ave...I always drive 50 on the dot passing it thinking it's a speed trap around the bend

Keep in mind that all the police departments looking to upgrade from the Crown Vics (which would be all of them since Ford discontinued the line) all have been (or will be) testing out various makes and models of police cruisers. I'm not sure if VPD is the only police department that has settled on a model but don't be surprised if you see a Charger or a Caprice in RCMP/Delta/New West/etc. livery. They're probably just "sample" vehicles decked out so that the police departments can do their evaluation.

I'd think that most of the local municipal police departments will follow the VPD's lead with the Chargers though. You might see the Tauruses with the RCMP as outside of the Lower Mainalnd, that AWD would come in pretty handy in winter.

One time I saw an Eclipse with body kits and stuffs parked on the side of the VPD building.

hchang 09-01-2013 06:56 PM

Seen a RCMP Taurus in Chilliwack

Ugly as fuck in my opinion

AWD and 300 hp

seakrait 09-02-2013 03:20 PM

^^^ VPD will have the ford explorers too i think in black. not sure if they'll be replacing the Tahoe dog cars with them though.

Harvey Specter 09-02-2013 03:27 PM

I still prefer the black on black Tahoe's the VPD gang squad uses. They're so menacing.

I always check out a Tahoe PPV. Those things look so cool.

Check out this stock Charger get fitted for Police work:

Everymans 09-02-2013 05:27 PM

176 cars just for vancouver or for the lower mainland? How much does a cop car cost? 60k?

Spidey 09-02-2013 08:03 PM

the interior setup is so much better than the taurus

I actually saw one in ghost car form somewhere on the Coquihalla. It surprisingly looked pretty sick, especially since this one was a dark grey with the push bar on it.
