Default Re: Why is it.................?

Why do some people think they have something special by owning an ex-police car? You know, bragging about a Falcon with "Option 20" or a Holden with code BT1 or 9C1.

Why would it be desirable to own a car that was absolutely thrashed from the moment it hit the road? Sure, some of the NSW Falcon's got Brembo's, but why would a $1500 set of calipers offset the abuse the car was subjected to.

It's equally dumfounding as to why you would highlight this when trying to sell the car. Like, I could highlight in a sale description how I drove my car on the track and made full use of its performance capability, but somehow that wouldn't offer the same mystique of owning an ex-police car. I don't get it.
