Yeah, I'd never do it on a public road, I'm not trying to get arrested for impersonating an officer!

Thats what I got it for! Cavalier goes up for sale soon, no more paying car payments FTW!

This car gets a lot of attention, and in the right ways too... People won't budge me in line for a parking spot, they slow down on the highway when they see me (good and bad), they wave me on at stop signs Oh yeah, yesterday a police officer waved to me as I passed him in a parking lot

All in all, I'm happy with it so far!

This was why I had two Crown Vic's as work cars for many years. You are going to notice a lot of perks like this. And no more people cutting you off in traffic either.

Now go stick on two mini cell antennas (about a foot long) in the top rear corners of the rear window and you are complete ! I did this on both of mine.

I had fun with mine once and a while with young kids at night. If I had some kids hauling ass in traffic or by me on the interstate I would haul ass up behind them and shadow them for a few miles.

Also there is a great trick with the turn signals. I think yours has this too. When you use your turn signals your front side marker light should shine out to the side with some white light (helps the old people change lanes). IF you pull the lever down real slow (either direction) it will light this light but not the turn signal. I use to use this to light up peoples cars next to me like a spot light.

See if this works and let me know.

Oh simple mods would be, K&N filter, better h-pipe, mufflers, and a gear change.

Yeah, it has one little black antenna right in the middle of the roof, and it has mounts for 2 more, one rear middle roof, and one on the trunk lid I'll probably end up using them some one thing or another

I'll definitely give the turn signal trick a shot tonight hehe.. Of course, I have the A-pillar light if I really wanted to shine Maybe that will come in handy if I ever have to deliver pizzas again, rofl

hey, if anyone wants to check the car out, I'll be happy to show it off, its a fun car, as I said before, I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I like it..
