Why thousands of RCMP vehicles are being turned into scrap (youtube.com)
Some with only 30k odos. RCMP used to make $6-8m selling old vehicles. Now pays $1m over the course of a few years to store them. A couple years ago, a guy who had bought one posed as a cop and shot a bunch of people, so any car that looks like a police car is now being scrapped. Because he couldn't do the same thing in a regular car? For me, this would be an argument for chassis that can support different bodies, and just have an official body for official cars. That could perhaps be extended to public services like hydro, because there's a lot of criminals posing as those to gain access to houses, but this is something I've long wanted, and I think a lot of people. A chassis with a setup that suits you (some people want an economical car, some a diesel, some performance) and you can get custom bodies for it (family seating, pickup).
