I have no idea where that came from. We had talked about the fact that collecting antique police memorabilia was a big hobby... and in totally a different context, some people like to drive around in the "daily driver" unmarked car for the thrill (see the discussion on that topic). I guess that got shortened to "hoard police memorabilia for the power and the thrill". (NT) -- Dave Arnold, 22:09:57 09/03/02 Tue I knew those were not your words as soon as I saw the article. When it comes to car collecting of any type, reporters have one on for the people that enjoy it. They hear only what they want and tdon't let the truth get in the way. NT.

Ban daily drivers. What's next? Ban all restored white police cars, because white is too close to reality? Most current squads are white, remember? And you sure do forget that when the hobby started, most in the hobby started out with daily drivers that were then restored. But maybe you are not in the hobby and wouldn't know much about it? -- Giant, 09:39:40 08/28/02 Wed Listen, half-wit -- Bryan, 13:28:34 08/28/02 Wed Bryan: point taken, sir....................but, those 1991+ Caprices in particular will be gone sooner than anybody wants to admit to...........and will indeed qualify as 20+ YO vehicles in less than 8 years.................and will be damn near impossible to find............as it stands: the first 1991 big Chevy's came out in early 1990...............over 12 years ago! And, to be honest, IMHO; one would be wise in stockpiling 'police' only parts for the 1990's cars.............in particular the Caprice. Hell, it has been out of production for well over 5 years now.

Well, Bearhawke, replicas are part of the hobby. There are some nice older replicas out there. But is it really what you want? Sometimes it's worth waiting a while longer...
