How many of you can see yourself driving in one of these bad boys? :rolleyes:

[Jayc6018]

Ahhh thats traffic enforcement. Just a smoke screen to have the appearance that there are more cops on the street. :D

[NYCAPO]

LMAO:D I laughed at that car the first time I saw it.

[bork]

Did they buy a fleet of these? Or just one or a few for PR/testing purposes? Considering the Prius gets its highest MPG in stop-and-go city driving, it could actually be cost effective for the department in the long run. That is, depending what they actually paid for the vehicle, how much extra maintenance/repair they require, etc. According to Toyota, supposedly there's no Prius owners that have actually worn out their batteries so far. I would say for Traffic, they probably would have been better off just buying a compact high MPG vehicle like a Civic, Yaris, Aveo, etc. They don't make the Eco statement like a Prius, but they still get high MPG for quite a bit less money.

Impala looks better than that!

[gbotj]

its cerainly less forceful looking than Crown Vics:rolleyes:

[GeneralMelchid]

That isn't a car, it's a defanged effeminate hippie thing on four wheels, it almost looks worse then the tricycles I see some cops using, you know the vehicle with the three wheels around Manhattan

[gbotj]

General, stop lying. I know you want to drive it. Its ok, we're all anonymous!
hahaha

Quite frankly, I would point and laugh at the poor officer driving that car.

[jchughes05]

lol the 3wheeled "Segway" device.

[NYCTNT]

Its called a cushman and its small with 3 wheels for easy traffic enforcement. Why do you need a car to just open the small window and pull up next to the vehicle, with plenty of room for vehicle traffic to pass through. I personally, love those things.

Down in Norfolk, VA they had segway cops. I had to do a double take the first time I saw one.

NYPD has them as well you will see them at some details and on most boardwalks.

[SCHPapplicant21]

with bloomberg in charge, get ready to see a lot more of those folkks!

Long Beach PD in Nassau County also has some Segways.

I saw one being used by the Wayne County Airport Authority Police in Detroit, MI on a trip several years ago ... only time I have ever seen Segway cops in person. It looked a bit lame if you ask me, those things look unstable and there is no way I will ever ride one.

[krash131]

Are they going to have an EVOC session just for the hybrids :D

[SCPS PO]

Man I hated the Cushmans. Every time you took a turn, I felt like I was taking life into my own hands. I much prefer the newer Malvese Interceptor II.

[saxyjc]

GeneralMelchid you should see the charger 4176 after it was crashed. I have a pic on my old cell but can't upload it.

[GeneralMelchid]

i heard that the nypd had trouble with previous dodges,the brakes suspension and all weren't too good, me i really like these, though hate the color--http://www.carlospomares.com/Pics/nypd%20car%20show%202005/DSCN0809.jpg

[GeneralMelchid]

imagine driving this, even though its a fake from the netherlands, and you can tell by the fake bulletholes on the left--------http://api.ning.com/files/FHPXgNXBrPAV59abfUBRlMvXJ8kRZrquR17lc-cTW8A_/NYPD1.jpg

[GeneralMelchid]

it looks almost like the old urkel car from family matters

[ny007]

i passed the nypd exam #8305 in july '08 with a 93%...does anyone know how long its gonna take for nypd to contact me for the medical exam?

[GeneralMelchid]

wrong thread for it but, I think theres a wait now that alot of people are re opening their cases, but probably soon, within this month or so, if you want call- 212 recruit and you can get a definite answer.
