Ok, I admit it, I am a wanna-be cop-but not like some of you might think. I want a horse named Rex and a faithful dog named Yukon King! I want a revolver on a lanyard and a 30-30 lever action rifle. I want to command "On King, on you Huskies!" I want to say to the bad guy, "I arrest you in the name of the Crown". In the end I want to say "Well King, the case is closed". And my sled would have a push bar on it!

Well, at least GreekGod wanted a 30-30 lever-action rifle and not a crummy RedRyder BB-gun.
 
anyone who wants to look like a cop or have their car look like a cop car bears considerable watching.


too many guys out there wannabe a cop, its a scary thing and the pyschological make up of such a person is something to be wary of.


someone recently posted an Ebay item of a fake dash cam for sale.....i'm betting thats next.

Dude,

Plese, read the entire thread (yes, more than one page worth, God forbid) prior to making duma$$ statements like this one.

No one here is talking about "wanting to look like a cop or have their car look like a cop.

Best,

Dan

I didn't bother reading any of the other pages, in fact I only skimmed through half of page one.

But I like it. Its your car, screw the rest, its your car. Congrats.

Learn to read between the lines then. The thread is all about ""wanting to look like a cop or have their car look like a cop."

Nothing more, nothing less. Big Merc knows this, and so does everyone else reading this thread, even if they don't want to admit it.

I like the look for it's attitude, not because I'm trying hard to associate it to a copped-out CVPI. I've always been one to admit when I'm wrong, and admit my true feelings about anything. If I felt as strong as you, RCSignals, I'd be in your boat calling this guy a wannabe too. But I digress, when I look at the pictures I see a Marauder staring back at me with steel teeth giving a statement of attitude. I guess only a few see what I see.

I can only speak for one person, myself, when I say that when I look at Wesman's car or this dude's car I get the idea of "Don't F*ck with me." It is a strong statement, the pushbar that is. LEOs have them for many reasons, does that make the push bar an officer only item? Is the dude in the white expedition with a bull bar trying to look like a cop too? This thread is not all about wanting to look like a cop, we all know this can be done for a fraction of what this guy has spent and he could pull it off much better.

We could sit here in front of our computers and point the finger at this guy and call him an impersonator, I'm sorry, but where are the lights? Where is that dash cam that is probably next, right? Lets point a finger when he gets the divider and fancys a pair of cuffs off his mirror, or how about when he mounts a 100w speaker to the bars, K? I'm only trying to be fair.

Keep convincing yourself.
Police vehicles have push bars for one reason, and it isn't to 'look tough',
It's not to prevent scratches or dings in the bumper.
Some taxis use the same push bar, front and rear. There isn't too much more utilitarian than a Taxi.
A brush guard on a SUV or truck is a whole different matter. No one with one on their SUV or truck is after a 'Crown Vic effect'

Anyway, as I said before, the so called 'CVE' is a myth. It's of Walter Mitty.

Know who he is?

Frank, thanks for being a good sport, and for not taking offense to my comments. Atleast I hope that you haven't. Like I said, it's perfectly fine to have your own tastes as all of us do. I just don't share them with you when it comes to this mod, and I wanted to explain why (which I did). Just another veiwpoint. That's all. I hope there's no hard feelings. Nothing wrong with a good spirited exchange or debate now and then. I often do the same with my close friends and my co-workers too. And even when we don't agree, we still work together well.

Im taking this all in good stride Billy, i know everyone has his/her own opinion and such.
For instance, i dont like beer, but talking to certain people, i'd be condemed for not liking it.
It just goes to show that internet forums are a powerful tool and can really voice opinions!

Maybe now i WILL get the tear drop and fake video camera, just to add to the debate :P
JUst kidding, i got the bar for the reason i stated, and thats that. SOme will like it, some wont. To each his own. :beer:
