the guy had a good idea with tha GT but if you look closely it looks like ****.The paint on the front bumper isn't glossy like the rest of the car,lights are fake(they could be real but he can't turn them on ) and the 411 on the side of the car i don't like.But it's cool that he did it for his son and he did serve in the military.And i am greatful for that

A close look shows Vigil's car isn't a police cruiser. Instead of the familiar slogan "To protect and serve," it carries a motto: "To punish and enslave" on the side
Freakin' awesome...

Peace,
Craig.

It'd be pretty funny to have a buddy have a car like that and everywhere you go have him follow you with the lightbar on, no siren. Not speeding or anything like that but it'd be hillarious to see the faces of the people looking on and wondering why you're not stopping.

Just needs a decent light bar and some strobes.

There was a little town I lived in that had "To Protect and Serve" like many departments on thier cars, except the cursive font made it look like it said "To Protest and Serve."




The part I don't get is this quote," I tried to spoil him. I wasn't the best dad before."

Spoiling a kid does not equal good dad IMO. Maybe our definitions of spoil may differ too. I don't consider spending time and doing things with a kid as spoiling. I hope thats what he is referring to. I've worked with people that were obviously spoiled kids and their parents did them no favors.

i would think it was at first glance, but seeing as the newer cars have the newer equipment, a second look and id know.

If I was that guy, I would have made it look like the mustang cop car off Transformers. That biznitch was pretty sweet.

I'd also have to take a second look to see if this car was an actual cop. One look at that light bar and I'd have it figured out.

I'm pretty sure you can't have the same color strobes as the police. I'm not sure about Nevada, but here in Texas, I think it's illegal to have red & blue strobes & the only ones non-police can run are colors other than red & blue. That's most likely why his light bar is fake.

You can have the same strobes..again, you just cant use them...and you cant a a logo of a police dept on you car either..but can have police itself..its all in "impersonating" an officer...
