We have already decided that 2017 will be the year of the pickup truck. Last year was soccer mom minivans and the year before was the aristocrats. What will 2018 hold? I am proposing ... Police cars!

Think of the possibilities if you will. P71, Impalas, a ratty Charger or two, heck even a Camaro or a Mustang if you stretch the definition a little. I am in, if anyone else is as well...

Ok back to working on 2017's pickup. Let me know what you think or if you have any other options kicking around...

If the p71 survives this year's challenge, I'm in.

Land Barge would be fun imo....imagine a huge old caddy or lincoln trying to do decently in autox.

You could also include a lot of old station wagons in that class

+1 to everyone that votes wagon... I basically just want an excuse to have a wagon. Not that I need an excuse.

If police lights/theme are added will it count?

Police land-barge wagon?

Can probably find one for $2018 if I start looking now.

Maybe a class of cop and robbers. Good guys vs bad guys.

I'm not sure what car bad guys drive.
Maybe dark green Mustangs vs black Chargers.

Axis vs Allies.

Make the entire field competitive against each other based on the country of origin of your car.

Show up in a Mustang, Impala, Citroen, Trabant or a Yugo? You are an Allie. Show up in a Miata, BMW, or an Alfa? Definite Axis.

Would love to see a best(worst) of the 70's shootout. Brits vs land barges, plus toss in some 70's honda for good measure.

Hope you have your tetanus shots!

How about the "bad guys" drive ricer's. The more ridiculous colors, body kits and stickers the better?

Maybe call it the $2000 Fast and Furious sub-class?

Bonus points if you dress up like Vin Diesel.....
