Where do police cars go after a hard life of law enforcement? Often in low-buck racing series like the 24 Hours of Lemons.

I'm addicted to police chase videos on YouTube. Arkansas does them best. Occasionally, the camera car will be a Tahoe or Durango that struggles to hit 130. Eventually, a Charger will swoop in and handily dispatch the perp. It's almost laughable how fast they are compared to any other police vehicle.
The school behind me just received a donation of 3 P71s, silver and black and in really nice shape and one Black Charger also in really nice shape. I may need to become a volunteer in the automotive department.

I actually saw an unmarked P71 with red/blue stealth lights pull someone over on the freeway yesterday.
I didn't think Delaware still had any Crown Vics in the fleet. Been a long time since I saw one in action. Either I was wrong about that or somebody just got shaken down.

I've had a few car chases in my residential neighborhood. It's all fun and games until the perp's car winds up flipped on a neighbor's front lawn . Oddly enough, the number of unmarked police cars following the perp's cars is astonishing.
