    I am a police car, nee-naw



    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...nto-patrol-car

    Police in the Czech Republic have turned a high-powered Ferrari they seized from criminals into a patrol car capable of chasing down joyriders at speeds of up to 200mph.
    The 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia was formerly coloured racing red, but the authorities painted it with yellow and blue reflective stripes and mounted a panel of lights on top. It will be used to chase stolen cars and to crack down on illegal road races, police said in a statement.

    While similar models can fetch upwards of £150,000, Czech police stressed that the supercar was no luxury buy; they modified it for about £10,300, which they said was the same cost as a new Skoda hatchback.

    You just know it's going to end up in a very big crash. I just hope it's caught on camera...
