This is what I am going to do with the cop-car I'm going to buy. I don't
plan on racing it, but I will have it in operating condition.

MOPAR? Is that an acronym?

BTW, the motor sounds were authentic. They took some PZM mikes and placed
them right on the motors, back decks, etc. Unfortunately, those little

been trying to convince my friend of this, but alas, he is not open to
suggestion.
