Feb 6, 2009 - Carbon E7: Reason No. 1 to Serve and Protect

If there was ever a reason to join the police force, this is it. Other than the Italian highway patrol's Gallardo cruiser, this is clearly the coolest police cruiser ever.

Straightline has the full story about the Carbon E7, which is a bespoke car designed specifically for law enforcement purposes. I too doubt they could produce it for the same price as a Charger, but if I was a cop, I'd want to roll in one of these. The prospect of spending my life in a Crown Victoria would be enough to never ever ever ever consider a career in law enforcement -- the idea of dealing with criminals, drunks, annoying neighbors and society in general would be another factor.

For the nation's police, I hope the Carbo E7 happens. However, let's be honest, they'll probably just end up using the E7s to pay off the cost of the E7s. In other words, by 2012, you'd better stick to 34 in a 35, keep that Bluetooth in your ear and stick that front license plate on.
