So that's what happened to my white C5 coupe! I told my buddy not to bring his college duffel bag on our road trip!

What a job that Sheriff has!

The poor guy has to drive this C5 8 hours per day/night and get paid for it!

Dang! It would be almost worth it to get a ticket from this guy just for the novelty of being stopped by a C5 lite up and all!

Not a C5, but the Wake County, NC Sheriff's Department has this bad boy:

You have to think about the local public's reaction to seeing their Sheriff tooling in a C5 and not understanding it was confiscated. "My tax dollars at work." In the famous words of FG - "Stupid is as Stupid Does."

They probably used them to line up the decals.

It also looks like the front window is tinted, which I thought, was illegal in Florida...

The local high school shop class here built a blown C4 Corvette for our local police department complete with butterfly scoop and NOS injection. I wouldn't want to try to outrun that thing in anything less than something John Force might drive.

I'm pretty sure most understand that it was confiscated from drug dealers. That's where most of these cars come from. Florida has more than its fair share of high-end confiscated vehicles. I've seen pics of Lambo and Ferrari police cars obtained there because some idiot thought he was smarter than an entire police force.

Yeah, but at least it wouldn't look so bad being pulled over by another Corvette than some old beat up Impala.

No front plate in Florida, however as I mentioned earlier, the windshield tint looks a little dark...

Actually it is an abuse of tax dollars. It belongs to the public and should be sold. It's not a play toy.
