"FINALLY! An effective police cruiser I can use!" Topic

Just too bad it's the wrong scale:

I know it's a gag post, but I picked up some hotwheels "gators" (yamaha golfcarts) from the local dollar store that are PERFECT for 28mm Police "urban patrol vehicles".

Would love to have that car in 28mm for a zeds game. You jump thinking it safe, Zeds just see it as a boxed lunch and easily pull it apart..

No PIT maneuver in that thing. What are they thinking? I think horses would be more effective….wait, a horse probably has a greater carbon footprint.

How silly of me.

Do you strap the perp over the roof?

No, you harness the Perps to the front and make them pull the thing all the way back to the station.

Carbon Footprint has NOTHING to do with choosing that car.

The Toyota Carolla cost less, carries more passengers, has more trunk space, gets better gas mileage, has better stopping and acceleration, better safety rating, and costs less to insure (not like that last part matters to muni vehicles, but just saying.)

BTW, not a Carolla lover, we're a Honda family, just giving an comparative example.

But can your corolla fit down a 4 foot wide alleyway/sidewalk?

How many cops actually get involved in high-speed chases, especially in New York City? (Cue the Pace Picanti commercial: New York City!?!?!?)

If you're really interested, New Ray also makes a 1/43 diecast NYPD Smart Car/Tow Truck set. You can find them on Ebay for $22 USD and up.

needs a paint job to make it a police car but the price in right.

The real life version of the car is actually a great idea. When the officer gets to the location of his call he gets out, clips the vehicle to his utility belt and carries it inside with him.
