um, how about a 1996 chyrsler minivan? I know that 5000 families per square mile own one or a van that looks like one, at least where i live.

A white ford bronco.... oh wait... :p


Seriously though, if I were to just grab a car on my way out of the bank, I'd steal the most plain thing I could and drive it legally ('98 cavalier or civic maybe). While you fools are all racing down the highway in your lambo, taking all the cops with you, I'm doing my 60 km/h onto my newly bought private boat and heading to some small island in the south pacific. Suckers :p

The Aston Martins though, the BMW years were so lame, can't belive they sold out.. though Goldeneye was the only good one Pierce did. ;)

This is tough. I was initially going to say an M-998 Humvee because there's nothing that they could do to stop it, but they would ALWAYS be right on the bumper (Unless I went offroad - at which point I still couldn't lose the choppers). And you certainly can't blend into a crowd, and you can't ditch it because it would be so obvious if they found it later.

Then I was gonna say McLaren F1. Choppers would have a helluva time keeping up if it were downtime on a freeway. But it's too expensive to drive like that, and you don't need to be commiting crimes if you can afford one. That, and reinforcements could just pull onto the freeway 10 miles down and wait there with nasty presents.

Solution? The I-95 drug runner's special. Lambo or Ferrari, completely blacked out. All lights killswitched, windows dark tinted, non-reflective black paint. At night you can literally dissapear. Since the advent of EZ-Pass systems, they don't even have to get off I-95 to get around the tollbooths. Cruisers can't catch 'em, choppers can't get on scene fast enough, and once they get where they're going, they dissapear into a warehouse not to emerge until the next night to head back for more goodies.

Any crime you want at night. If you're driving one of these and near a highway, you're free and clear.

I had a run-in with one once, was on I-95 northbound about 1AM. Nothing in the mirror, I'm in the left lane cruising along. Suddenly VRMMM. This invisible... SOMTHING flies by on my right side. Only later do I find out from people that live along I-95 that these things exist and what their purpose is.

it needs to be fast, but it also needs to be an everyday kind of car. i'd never actually drive one, but my vote goes to a Camaro Z28. Fast, and a dime a dozen.
