Default State Troopers on 85N

OK I just came back form Tuskeege. the State Troopers are now driving Expeditions. I almost got 2 tickets on the way there and 1 on the way back. They need to let folks know when they are going to change cars!!! Watch your selves!!

its a white durango with white reflective lettering and lights in the grill.. you would never know it was a police vehicle... the letters blend with the body (white on white).. very annoying.

Especially bikes...thats how i got my ticket over there. they sit under the exit sign and in blind curves so you cant see them till its too late. The thing that pisses me off is that my radar broke so i had to send it to Cobra to have them replace it and thats the day i got a ticket...how screwed up is that?
