Day 3 of owning police car:

People are parking next to me and just standing next to their cars staring at mine. They come inside and ask around with other people on who owns the black and white interceptor. I'm also getting tagged on Facebook by a guy I work with who then started sending me police memes.

On the bright side, I own a police car and it's all totally worth it.

Week 1 of owning 330ci:

averaged 25.5 mpg driving fast everywhere, which is 3 mpg higher than my slower, conservatively-driven, negligibly heavier '98 sable ls. first resonator deleted + LED interior lighting overhaul and i am loving it alllll. probably going to order m3 LED tails this monday, and down the road maybe a HID retrofit, angel eyes, and an interior/exterior detail. not much you can do to these cars power-wise that's worth the price, so i'm sticking with cosmetic mods lol

i used to get looks all the time in the smashed sable - more or less quick "look at that junk, haha teenagers" glances - but people stare at my bmw. just this morning, someone in an SUV stopped in front of my lawn to take a quick picture of it and last night i got 2 compliments in a parking lot

it's not super fast but it's fast enough; great low-end torque. the real fun is in the nimbleness and connected feel. overall, i love driving, seeing and hearing it (straight 6 rasp is addicting)

TRACK DAY BRO

MY STEERING RACK IS SO TIGHT

[XR-7]

So today I stopped at a red light while driving a girl home [in my police car] and this guy pulled up next to us in a Honda CR-V. I'm not paying attention to him at all so she tugs my sleeve and says, "This guy next to us is staring at us and your car." I look over at him and make eye contact, nudging my chin up in a "Sup bro." sort of way. I bet we looked like the owners of the road driving that car with me in dark sunglasses and girl with mirrored sunglasses next to me. As soon as the light turned green, I smashed that gas pedal. She just said, "Ha you left him in the dust." but I wasn't going to maintain high speeds, so he caught up and get blasting around my car, and then I'd blast around his.

I bet he thought he was special.

I almost died.

Guys, when driving on a route during dark hours, PLEASE PLEASE drive with your headlights ON and DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PASS A loving TRUCK WITH INCOMMING CARS

I almost hit an audi without lights head-on while the imbecile attempted to pass a flatbed and that would've been a 240km/h hit. I was going at 120km/h and he was too, probably. I did what you should never do in a route. Get off of it and get back on at a high speed but that adrenaline. I noticed from the reflection of my headlights on his light's mirrors.
