Isn't this stuff what police helicopters are for? There's not too many reasons this kind of chase should happen because of all of the innocent people who were endangered

But you don't understand, the officers egos are at stake here :colbert:

Sorry, their helicopter is busy harassing certain neighborhoods (you know the ones) doing low-pass patterns that spell C.P.D.

Please don't forget that I am an extremely racist idiot who also has terrible opinions about the Culture series.
This might explain some of the things I’ve observed recently.

i never understood this, i'm pretty sure a thief can figure it out just enough to limp off. if anything it'd be worse because at minimum they'll probably gently caress your clutch up if not money shift

It’s all about being slightly harder to steal than the car next to you

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
Anyone can break a lock if they're determined, the best way to deter a thief is to convince them it isn't worth their time

Yeah if you owned a manual Challenger for instance, it's almost a guarantee they'll skip it and look for an automatic instead because there are so many of them

People have no idea how it works at all. Like, "What's the third pedal for?" level of not knowing.

What was the last car sold in the US that had three on the tree anyway?

I learned somewhat recently that a 4 speed manual column shifter was a rare option on the Mercedes W124. Supposedly only sold for taxi use in Finland.

These dream are as common as ones about showing up to school naked or teeth falling out.

I had a similar dream when I was like 16, before I even knew how to drive. I was drunk as hell driving a car skidding all over the place, like how the car physics feel in GTA IV, which I of course was playing a lot at the time lol.

Ohio cops don't have helicopters they have MRAPs they bought for pennies on the dollar and occasionally bring out for parades and nonviolent arrest warrants
