The car began to slowly rotate on its axis as all four drive wheels fought each other for dynamic control. In about 10 seconds, the entire car was engulfed. When it was over, the ground was covered with smoldering piles of rubber and the most confused burnout marks ever made. "



Cool.

He should name it "Skidzophrenia."

As I understand it (from cop friends) you will probably see the charger as a police cruiser most everywhere in the near future, in that ford is going to stop production on the crown vic.

this is what I have been told, so if I am wrong I will deny it all.
