You forgot to buy Chrome paint for the wheels, and then maybe one of those yellow tire paint markers for the lettering.

But other then that i so want to grab rubber going into 2nd gear in that thing

Wait, didn't those cars say "INTERCEPTOR" across the back?

by JaysonAych Sat Apr 11, 2009 3:06 pm

Holy god, that is fantastic :hail:

Must have more pics when you get everything put together.

I'm gonna laugh if you get pulled over for impersonating the police. I'd look right at the cop and be like "Srsly WTF?"

I'm interested to see how the light bar will play into that. Without the light bar, the car should be just fine, but with it, there may be problems.

work in progress, MFP and PURSUIT (as this was the Big Bopper) will be vinyl additions later.

No red lights, either blue or other color. Also, I'll avoid running them while I'm driving. I can't really see why a cop would pull me over unless he A) hates the movie mad max or B) wants to know wtf this is I'm driving.

You need blue, that's what was in the movie.

So I finished painting this year's BABE car O3

by Swerve Sun Apr 12, 2009 3:37 am

That looks cool even without the movie affiliation.

by ryguy79 Sun Apr 12, 2009 7:23 pm

What are blue lights?

So I finished painting this year's BABE car 02-33

Damn Charger police cars are sexy

by JaysonAych Mon Apr 13, 2009 11:23 pm

Most KY cops use just blues. Indiana cops mostly use reds and blues.

by Honor Tue Apr 14, 2009 1:37 am

Alright Ive been to Michigan several times, wtf good is the little "STOP" sign on the hood? It seems rather pointless.

by Aristotle Tue Apr 14, 2009 5:57 pm

washington is all about the blue lights.

ny state is all about the red lights.

ma is blue.

by SBF Tue Apr 14, 2009 7:49 pm

I think every town in Illinois is red and blue except Chicago which is all blue. Even the staties are cherries and blueberries.

i read in the old days they used to use it to help tell people to pull over by pulling up next to them and hoping they see the sign. now it's more or less just on there for tradition.
