I blew up the police car!!!!

[mtnbkrpnk]

I was on duty the night before last, and all of a sudden when I accelerated from a stop, my engine started a steady series of explosive pops, almost like a machine gun. When I opened the hood, the sound seemed to be coming from the top of the engine, in the area of the cylinders. Not sure exactly what it is yet. A contributing factor may have been the several times in the last couple of months that I have been responding to calls, staying steady on the governer at 120 mph for about 3-5 miles.... that and the car has 117K miles on it. :rotfl:
Maybe I'll get a newer car now.... :beg:

[mtnbkrpnk]

No,we don't have any yet. THey are still buying brand new Crown Vics believe it or not....

Nice! Those cars have to be destroyed with that many miles. You guys get there worth out of them.

[mtnbkrpnk]

Oh yea, they get used! I responded to a call for a robbery one night about a month ago, and I was on Rt. 210 at 3 a.m. rolling 120 mph (maxed out) for about 5 or 6 miles. It was freaking funny feeling that thing hit the governer every 10 seconds or so.... :thumbsup:

Not every car has a governer. One of my coworkers was running one night, and his radar was indicating 137 mph! :rotfl:

[thestereogod]

[thestereogod]

[RedDragonV09]

Wow dude, I dont believe they have 120 governors on them. That only means I can out run them by 25 mph! not that I would tho. Im hopin you get a new car thats better than your last!

Oh I know, but still the fact that they limit some of them is stupid.

[RedDragonV09]

I topped out my Impala at 124 . They need to make better police cars damnit.

I've heard guys on other departments that have the Impala police cars say that they can reach 140-145 mph.

I ran with an Impala Police Car a few weeks ago that belongs to a buddy on a "Closed Course" and it didnt get anywhere near 145. I think he was a distant memory at about 135 and at 160 I couldnt even see his blue lights. bwhahahahaha

*update*

I found out today that the motor didn't blow up. Apparently, one of the spark plugs came out. All of the plugs, wires and coil were replaced. Runs fine now. Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. :thumbsup:

I've got the Uparmored Humvee's to about 50-60 in a chase before... What a rush :scratch:

I can't wait to take our Impala's on the Autobahn for the first time. I'll come back with reports :D

[mtnbkrpnk]

Hehe...I've driven a Humvee on Suitland Parkway in DC at 60 mph. It wouldn't go any faster. :rotfl:

[l3it3r]

I've been in a Hummvee going over 80 before.. granted it was stripped down and had just the four seats in it.. and it was pegged at redline.. lol :rotfl:

I never knew a Humvee was capable of 80 mph. I've only had them up to 60 at redline.... :shock:
