WTF What car should I get?

I had one like this, full sized Impala with steel rims, but I wouldn't call it fuel efficient.We bought a retired police detective car. (its a beefed up crown vic) so far it's been tons of fun, and fellow motorists are exceptionally courteous to us on the roadways. We also get waved at/to by the police now.
Driving through the middle of the state last year, there was a state trooper speed trap set up, of course other cars on teh highway wouldn't pass us, so we were at the head of a very very long line of cars, and saw the trooper ahead with his speed gun. Upon our approach, he put the speed gun down, waved at us, and the put it back up after we passed.it was fantastic.
We find that when we're driving, cars move out of our way (nobody wants us behind them) and nobody passes us, so traffic has become less of an issue for us.
I highly recommend.

The brothers out here in Tampa LOVE them some after market police cruisers...
This one was an unmarked detective car, the back seats are that vinyl pleather (not molded hard plastic) and the flooring is all plastic, VERY washable, ideal for a messy toddler in the back.
and pretty safe, I wrecked mine in a head on collision with a FJ Cruiser and the SUV got the worst of it.We get high 20's, which isn't super efficient, but it's livable. It's got some serious zoom to it, and the air conditioning can't be beat, tripple digits outside, The Beast (we named it) starts pushing out COLD air in 7 seconds. Cops got it right, that's for sure.

whoa. what year is this beast you speak of??We get high 20's, which isn't super efficient, but it's livable.

Yeah, it's a total Beast. We put the B's carseat in the middle of the backseat, which is the safest place for a side collision. It's all reinforced with steel plating in the seats so my backseat passengers can't stab me) and I believe the doors are somewhat bulletproofed as well (which is good because we get the total evil eye driving through some neighborhoods...)
Ryan has become bumper buddies with a couple of cars already and where other cars have sustained damage in the thousands, The Beast needed nothing more than a buff and touchup. And it's really fast
