Florida Hwy Patrol

RBatson · 03-27-2006, 09:12 PM

I agree, the suv driver got exactly what they deserved. I have seen cars locally that where seized from drug dealers, one was a porsche a city cop had with signs on the side that said "This car was seized from a drug dealer". The Steeda may have been a city cop but I think it was a Hwy Patrol car. It had lights around the plate to tip you off it was a cop. Usually the confiscated cars are county/city cars, around here. I still think that was a FHP car and if the boys are running Steedas.. watch out in Florida. What's next?? Lingenfelter vettes?! You better be packing an engine if you wanna play in Florida.

What's up Rick?

I've seen that Steeda(or one like it) quite a few times on my long-ass commute to work. They have alot of unmarked cars, and I believe they are seized cars. They also have new and old Vettes, new-style Z-28's, Fox-body Mustang LX's, trucks, stupid Lumina's, and probably more I haven't seen, as well as their standard cruisers.
Attached is a cheesy camera-phone pic I snapped while I was stuck in traffic of that Steeda at the scene of an accident, and one of the accident(sorry for the crappy quality, it was an old phone!):

Hey Joe. You actually crossed my mind while I was down there. I spent my first week of Vacation in Daytona and my second week was up in the air.. I decided to go to Key West. Got plenty drunk in Capt. Tony's one night with some other 'philosophers', heeh. I actually found some like minded people.. as far as heaven and earth, why we're here and what not. Ate at Sloppy Joe's, went parasailing and got pleasantly surprised at Dirty Harry's

It was very nice. Alot of bikers and spring breakers were there and the weather was great. 70 was the low at night and 88 was the high. I came home to 34 lows, that sucked. Anyhow, I saw the keys and I understand why you are so fond of them. Very nice.

I was reading an article at work where the FHP had 20 or so Mercury Marauders (spelling??) donated to them. They were going to use them for their agressive driving program. Florida cops get all the toys, while the rest of us up here in IL get Impalas
