80 in 40: Herr Roy has finally lost his mind

While we’ve been having a pretty traumatic time today here in The Garage, the stress has been broken up by the continued arrival of text messages from Team Polizei’s Interceptor 144B as it makes it’s way across the continent.

That’s right, the Chief Piloto of Team Polizei has gone completely freakin’ mad and is taking readers/viewers on a run from the Big Apple to San Fran. Live! With the usual cast of co pilotos, including an Autoblog scribe, Roy is following the entire length of Interstate 80 and broadcasting live from the car along the way.

How the hell are they going to evade every trooper along the way when they are sending out a live feed is beyond me. Perhaps the new electronics on board include Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak!

Be sure to check the view below on a regular basis. If the feed is down, check back in a few minutes, as they are just in a dead zone.

If you own a 2007 Ford Crown Victoria you now own a little piece of history.

Ford confirmed that the 2008 Crown Vic, first manufacture red in the mid 50’s, will be sold only through its fleet network, mostly to taxi companies and government agencies.

Thanks to the keen eyes over at Jalopnik for finding this gem. Somewhere down south, there’s a town called Freetown & they got’s themselves a real cool squad car. It’s even got those cool police issue center caps. This takes me back to high school, tooling around in my neighbour’s beige Pacer with the horrid houndstooth cloth seat covers.
