When I come to Annapolis to pick up my daughter from school I should buy you a cuppa Java. :)

Wow, nice! Glad to see they got you one with a view! :D

Ah, the much maligned new car is revealed :D. You are a mind reader, Ballen, I was going to ask you to show us some shots of your new work-ride and wonder if you could tell us why you dislike it so much?

Office sucks I hate it. City's beautiful I haven't even taken pics of some of the nice parts

I was gonna ask about that...we looked at the new Ford Interceptor but passed on it. Not enough room. We went with Tahoe's.

I miss my old office sometimes...We still have a small handful of the ole Crown Vic's prowling around. This was my Supervisor ride back when I was in patrol. They skimped on prisoner cages for boss cars.

My new duties require me to drive an unmarked.

I was going to ask you how you liked the now Interceptor. We've got two on the street, and getting mixed reviews. (My "office" is a standard black unmarked CVPI.)

We have a mix match of all kinds of cars now. Few crown vics a few chargers Tahoes explorers. The interceptors are the smallest of them all that why I dislike them I bang my elbow on the computer or printer every time I get in. The are the quickest of all the cars but not the fastest. In town driving I can beat them all around the city. On the open highway the crown Vic and chargers blow the doors off once up to speed. I can get them off the line until about 50 to 60 then their V8 power pulls away. If we didn't have cages and printers I'd probably like this car a lot better.

Weather looks nice down there today. I think my daughter is considering staying in Md (wife's fam lives there) after school. The winters are much more to her liking there. :)

That's exactly what we saw. Add to it our long gun's and its a VERY cramped workspace. I believe the "powers" are going to supplement our Tahoes...possibly with the Caprice. There were a few old Caprices in our fleet when I got hired and IMO they were damn fast cars. But those were BIG EIGHT models.

Of course, speed is not really a factor with the admin types....they would prefer we not get into car chases anyways..

Yeah our long guns are in trunk I couldn't imagine fitting one up front with me. Too many buttons in here to there is 24 buttons just on the radio. I'm supposed to enforce distracted driving laws and I can't even figure bout how to turn the volume down on my radio.

I feel ya on the no chase thing we have an absolute no chase policy. The only exception is a Capt or above approval in a life or death situation. So we don't even try anymore you run we just let you go.
