Can't wait to see the insurance claim when one of those fall-away wheels smacks that Tesla in the windscreen!

Not permanently, but we have rented some to use as mobiles at temporary detachments. I don't know if it's in writing, but the chase car obviously needs good acceleration. So, muscle cars are not used simply because they look cool. One of our permanent dets uses BMWs with right-side steering wheels; very James Bond-ish.

Psh, Aston Martin or bust if you're going to pretend to be James Bond.

Well, Teslas are stupid fast...

I did love seeing the Camaros with USG plates at al Dhafra. Got to ride along for a landing too.

I remember hearing a story about one of the chase cars getting stopped by USAF SF when they tried to drive out to the runway one day.

After being detained after getting specific permission from SF to get on the flightline in our GOV Dodge POS last week, I don't doubt it.
