You know your city’s budget is in shambles when the police dept. has to advertise for Carfax.

Stop showing off your new toy unless you plan to share it with the class.

Is the plate blacked out for the benefit of the drug dealer? Because I think the cops have already pretty much demolished his privacy in this regard.

I wonder if all the drugs they seized from the dealers now say, “This Used To Be A Drug Dealer’s Joint Now It’s Ours!”
(Man, that missing punctuation is really driving me nuts!)

Clearly, they hired a drug user to write that run-on sentence. Time to come down, man. Go visit the Yugo in the police lot to see if you can score some downers.

When I used to go to college in Maine I saw a corvette stingray that said something to that effect as well (think it was at a dare booth). First thing I thought was, “all that is telling kids is that if you deal drugs you can get a sweet car like this.”

I’m going to make sure the Tulsa police hit me without a reason, so I can change it to, “This used to be a Police car. Now it’s mine!”
…that or just go play Grand Theft Auto.

Dear Tulsa PD,
Thanks for buying our Escalade at such a reasonable price! We seriously thought we were going to have to off-load it at cost. We hope you’re enjoying us and the cost of rising fuel, not to mention what those maintenance bills! Next time you see us tooling around in our Prius, make sure to wave!
Love,
The Drug Dealers

Straight outta Tulsa
is a nigga that’ll drink all your mimosa
and stick a fork into your toaster
Dangerous motherfucker, you’ll got shocked
and the cherry on top: I’m a cop
See, I tried to be a pimp but that shit was deep
It’s hard to be a pimp when Okies fuck sheep
So I got a badge and a gun and I get paid
To drive around pimpin in the po-po Escalade.
We send a clear message about our law enforcement powers
This used to be a drug dealer’s car…now it’s ours.

“Yo Copper, I got this pearl Escalade, but it’s been running me some bills lately. Y’all know it’s mine, so you’re constantly trailing me, and the competition always knows where I am. Plus, I hate the clock.”
“So what, Rico? Sounds like your problem to me…”
“So, here’s my deal- you cops need to flex some muscle in south Tulsa- this Caddy is just the ticket for that. Plus, I’m currently in need of some firepower, and you guys are stitting on two dozen AR15 assault rifles from the Okie Patriot Militia raid.”
“Wait, we’re supposed to drive around Tulsa in your car? Everybody will think it’s you!”
“…already taken care of! Check out the sign- ‘it used to be mine, but now it’s yours.’”
“Vey clever, Rico. You got yourself a deal.”

The economy is still mostly stellar here in Oklahoma and the drugs in reference are usually methamphetamines. These gangsas roll better than some of our local politicians. And considering we’re a red state… you know them crackers be ridin’ dirty.

I live in Tulsa and I have seen this fucking car.
Here’s part of the story PAN didn’t know:
This car does belong to the T.P.D., however, it doesn’t often gallivant about town in a Suburbian-Midwestern drug-crackdown parade for itself. Some douchebag cop that lives in the neighborhood of a friend of mine leaves it parked at the edge of his driveway 24/7. Like a douche. [Did I mention that part?]
Maybe that cop should sell some of the coke he stole from the dealer to pay for gas for an Escalade?
