honestly the light blue NYPD Caprice livery was iconic
maybe I’m just fond of it because when my dad went to New York for a business trip one time he brought me back a model one, but either way it has a place in my heart
no hub caps, covered in dirt, shit falling off. that’s the aesthetic
actually I *know* that’s why I like it because it’s linked in my brain to the taste of hershey’s chocolate, which he also brought back and it was my first time ever trying, and which I have loved ever since because of that memory
‘happy memory of your father rediscovered through posting about cop cars you think are cool’ is perhaps the most Alice emotional journey

I did try and stream Emergency 4 once but the resolution was fucked, which is a shame because it’s the closest any game has ever come to capturing the feeling of playing with little toy cars on your carpet

last good looking British police car. sorry. it was all downhill from here
first they realised no one buys secondhand white cars and changed to silver, and that was okay I guess. even some of the early BMWs looked cool
