One more. Actually ,now that I' really looking at it, the all black SUV looks pretty good in all the white stuff. Black & White. Classic color scheme. No 58 isn't my unit. I drive 57, but it looks remarkably similar to 58.

Did they at least buy the 4WD versions of the SUV for patrol? Our genius admin brain trust decided to phase out the Crown Vics for Tahoes over the course of five years because they sat higher, more room, better on snow.....then they went with the 2WD versions???.....less money. Not that we got a lot of winter weather but a 2WD Tahoe on ice=Useless, and they also decided to convert a majority of the fleet to...pause for effect....propane power. This resulted in several of the units shutting down during traffic stops, all kinds of engine issues, but...it was "clean" energy....I was never able to get my head around what command staff was thinking. Once you get an office up on Mt. Admin, logic seems to depart the decision making process...lol

Yes we have the four wheel drive versions and we have snow tires. They handle real well in the snow.
