Why a cop car?
Oh, if I had $27 every time someone asked me that, I’d never have to pay for a full tank of gas ever again. The answer is quite simple: it’s not a cop car. Those vehicles you see with the blue flashing lights and “911” on the side, those are cop cars. When was the last time you saw a cop car with a moonroof?? Or leather interior? Yes, I have a black grille but I would positively love to be convinced that having a black grille makes me a police impersonator. For further discussion: An impersonator takes on the role of that whom he is impersonating, in this case pulling people over or doing other police things. An impressionist gives the appearance of a person–in this case a cop–be it with pushbars or black steel wheels or black grilles. The important difference being, an impersonator is a criminal and an impressionist is harmless albeit sometimes intimidating to other drivers. There, now aren’t you glad you asked?
