Hey Veeky Forums,

I screenwrite for a hobby, and I could use some input.

A character in my crime screenplay is a drug-runner/getaway driver. I'm thinking about having him drive in a retired black Crown Vic PI, since they're durable, go fast, look like cop cars to cops, and are cheap (he destroys the cars to get rid of evidence after a while).

Is this pretty autistic, or reasonable sounding? What could you see being used otherwise?

The dude himself isn't like fucking Ryan Gosling, he's funny in a kinda snarky way. Bit immature. Gay, but not flamboyant.

>Gay

fuck off

Sounds reasonable. Only downside is how much attention a vic gathers. You could also use the other Panther platform cars, like the towncar as those would draw significantly less attention but are otherwise the same car

>Is this pretty autistic, or reasonable sounding?
They're not fast, so I'd say no. Those things can be outrun by a minivan
>What could you see being used otherwise?
I would use a 2011+ Chevrolet Caprice PPV.
They were ONLY sold to police fleets.
They's based on the same Zeta platform as the 2010-2015 Chevrolet Camaro, and use a 6.0L L77 V8.
Aftermarket parts for a Camaro SS will work on them which makes them fantastic sleepers.

btw, legit non-flamboyant gay guy here. This WOULD be my choice.

>Gay
He needs a miata

If you need a real life looking thug/drug dealer/villain car use the almighty LS400

Why not GS-430 instead. sportier so it can escape if need be, faster because it's lighter, and still a Lexus so cops generally ignore it thinking it's a geriatric.

>go fast

LMAO

Looking like a cop car isn't really a good thing, or something an actual getaway driver would use
The would more likely use something that is extremely common that would blend in, if he's going to junk them to get rid of evidence he should be using something cheap and used, and of different makes and models like a Camry or Malibu or Altima or something along those lines

>Camry or Malibu or Altima or something along those lines
A Nissan Maxima, Pontiac Grand Prix GTP or a V6 Toyota Camry would be good.

why would you want to buy a used crown vic shit box? what are you, autistic?

>look like cop cars to cops,

Not at all, looks more like probable cause especially if it is evident that it has been modified to look like a fleet vehicle after it has been debadged.

OP it takes 3 seconds to look at a california license plate and see you aren't a cop, nobody ACTUALLY thinks they look like a cop in a CVPI

Those are not fast
Legit could smoke that in my stock Si

>PPI has quarter mile of 13.8
>Every SI is about a second or so later

I won't argue the plates or performance, but not all former police crown vics are debadged examples. Where I live probably about half the time you see someone pulled over, it's by a white or navy blue crown vic with the lights hidden behind the grille in the front and mounted just inside the rear window in the back. "Ghost cars" are all too common here

>get V6 camry
>the auto cucks you and shifts up when doing 2k rpm

I'd use a stolen Honda. But this is kino we're talking about so it should be a motorcycle, a ridiculous sports car, a Plymouth Fury, or a fucking tank.

get a 3.6/5.3 impala or a manual 540 if you can afford the maintenance.

>Gay
Is it a biographical series about your idealized self OP?

Nah fuck the crown vic. He needs to be in a Taurus interceptor or a Caprice PPV. Actually fast cars that are more common in 2017

FPBP

A Crown Vic might stand out too much to be a getaway car. It might not have the same "cool" factor for fiction, but a generic commuter sedan like a Corolla or Malibu (silver for maximum blandness) converted into a sleeper would be more practical. If he occasionally disposes of the car then it might be better for him to get a different one each time too, perhaps just grabbing whatever's on craigslist and paying cash or whatever).

beige V6 5-speed Camry with a dent in the rear bumper.

nobody will ever notice it.

>Gay drug-runner
Is there a chapter where he sucks off the cops at the Mexican border?

Dodge Charger. So many on the road it blends in.

is it a cop? Tyrone? Or your kids gym teacher? A wheel change can determine this funny enough.

Or go ask a rental car company what their number 1 rental is.

>go fast
LMAO

Gay guy driving a decommissioned police Crown Victoria sounds about accurate.

If you're fantasizing about directing a gay porn, the lead actor 100% should be driving a Miata.

Also kys faggot

Baja bug
Sentra SE-R
GTI version of whatever common VW
Etc
