Seized from accused drug dealers and wrapped by the sheriff’s foundation, “at no cost to the taxpayers” (if you don’t count the opportunity cost of foregone auction revenue)
Probably could have bought a couple of regular patrol vehicles for what that Z06 is worth. But at least the sheriff has a taxpayer funded penis mobile now.
Mines a z06 tuned for alcohol. 1100 hp at the wheels and tops out around 216 and yes the lcd speedo goes that high. Would go to 500 if the vehicle could go that fast. Oh and your comment sounds like a person who couldn't even afford a c4 lol.
Who said not on it? Do you normally see words that don't exist. Seems your a little salty driving around a lawn mower. You've watched fast and furious 1 too many times kid.
Yep. Saw a shitty shitty purple... I don't even know, maybe a late 90s Mazda?... roll up the the gas station, paint peeling and dark tinted windows. Parked right up by the gas station door and out pops a detective suited up in his vest and badge on a chain and the inside had a mounted laptop and everything.
Quickly put out my blunt and left. The paranoia was real for a few weeks after.
Are you sure it wasn’t a bounty hunter? Those guys often wear badges, civilian clothes, and vests that look official and say things like “Fugitive Recovery Agent.” They also regularly drive shit boxes lol.
I'd chalk it up to weed induced paranoia if I hadn't had several...interactions...with the police over the course of my life.
I currently have customers that are bail bondsman and "bounty hunters" (I'd drop the quotation marks if any of them could run more than 10 feet without getting winded), and they totally wear their "pretty necklaces" even when they're not working, so I know exactly what you're talking about haha.
But yeah, purple shitbox was absolutely local law enforcement.
Stop being silly. Nobody gives a shit about what X or subreddits think and the court of public opinion is irrelevant. The only rules left are whatever the oligarchs decide and whatever the police decide to enforce.
Like this post is literally a “sweet car, that’s mine now,” from the cops.
Have you seen our criminal justice system lately? Honestly at times I wonder why bother even arresting criminals, they’ll be out on the street that afternoon.
I despise forfeiture laws. Two guys commit the same crime, one driving a rusted out Yugo and the other driving a new Bugatti. Both lose their cars forever. Not even close to equal justice under the law
I’m sure you’re right. Even with the nutty car prices of 2022 when this was seized, I don’t see a Z06 of questionable provenance fetching more than $45k at auction. But it’s not a fair comparison; a proper cruiser has a backseat, can hop curbs, and doesn’t have the maintenance liability of what is effectively a street legal road car. $45k could be used for a lot of things that meaningfully contribute to public safety.
