Portland peeps - beware of silver Mustangs

This photo was take from my office window. A totally unmarked Portland Police Mustang had stopped a driver on Morrison St. right at Pioneer Courthouse Square (yes, my office has a great view of lots of intersting things happening). Driving lights were strobing red & blue, as well as LEDs behind the rearview mirror. Note hood scoop and spoiler. License plate ZVZ 734. Pretty sneaky.

I'm happy with the setup for a daily driver. Not much sacrafice in ride, and enough drop, together with more assertive offset wheels, to look right. EDC works fine.

Cheers, Greg

Yes. Often on 192 heading to Walmart, Roots, and of course Costco's to fill up on gas. You'll catch me on 164th too.

I recently saw an AW CF and it was likely you, lol.
