Seriously. It's like putting eye liner on Rosie ODonnell and trying to convince people that she's Heidi Klum.

Here in NOVA, fairfax county has a couple trucks, some dodge minivans, some expeditions, explorers, some camaros, mustangs, chrysler 300s, chevy malibus, and a couple escalades and suburbans... ALL of which are UNMARKED. watiching someone get pulled over by a minivan is probably one of the funniest things ive ever seen though!

Seen it. They have a few unmarked F150's. They also have an accord. BPD had a mini van. And I heard a rumor of a SC charger on 24.... That scares me

This.

As mentioned a lot of areas use other kinds of unmarked cars but more often than not its a crown vic.

I'm always alert and keeping an eye out and not doing anything illegal anyway but its not hard to spot a crown vic and all of them are suspect to me.

Down in VA I've seen like blue-ish and red-ish chargers pulling people over, and the fact that they are crown vics should bea dead give-away doesn't make sense. There are so many people these days buying those busted old cruisers and making them their DD's...so everytime I see a crown vic or an impala, or a charger now I get all shifty eyed and slow down.
