So apparently this is a thing: a stripped down Crown Vic complete with lights, dummy cop, solar panels and a front tow bar insert. Can be wheeled to and fro by one guy and a truck.

Place in construction zone, watch motorists not speeding brake check each other, I guess.

because a running, driving crown vic that you can drive from place to place is far too convenient.

Well, the website for the decoyvic is defunct so maybe it wasn't such a viable business after all...

FYI, as an experiment we're going to try posting high-production value shows here and leaving this for the "fucker recorded it in portrait" stuff. If it's at least on par with Roadkill / Dirt Every Day, post it in that thread.

I know it's stupid expensive to compete at this level, but it was shocking to learn that the ETS GTR has had over 300K dollars of work put into it, a fuckton of money just for bragging rights.

What causes it to liftoff like that?

lack of front downforce and a perfectly flat undertray, added to too much speed cresting a hill that is just right to allow air under the car

it's like when you stick your hand out of a car window palm down, and then angling your fingers up. rudimentary wing, it creates lift

Peter Dumbreck's CLK-GTR flight

the CLK-GTR had a design flaw, Webber had this one in practice

the 911 GT1 also had issues, at Road Atlanta

Not sure. Could be the first ranchero video, or could be the first 55 chev video (when they were towing the body with a GM SUV). Might be another one, but from memory it's an old 70s ford or gm and not one of their project or disposable cars.

e: Is there a new ep tomorrow?

Its for the ramp truck. I think its the boneville episode. Used to plug a vacuum leak after cutting up a hose to bypass a fuel filter.

It sounded more like an R35 GT-R to me but first I trolled myself by accidentally hitting the mute button on my keyboard. "Oh, the entire commercial is silent because the car's electric, but why's the passenger look like he's about to take the most heinous dump of his life?"

Yeah, but that's sadly inevitable. If someone comes up with a decent sample bank so I can pretend I'm in a 787B or a classic GTO or whatever on demand that will help.

I imagine the same way you get the original flavor Fiats they're based on.
