Yup, at long last they arrived. The LF bumper cover was a little wrinkled as Trooper C.A Williams attempted to flip from W bound to E bound on State Road 528 July 30th, 1989. The steep angle of the median was concealed by tall grass. The damage isn't even worth posting here. There is a lot of information on here on how to obtain FHP pics. You'll need an accident report(provided your car was in one) to supply Tallahassee with information. Got mine with help from a member on here. (thanks Jarhed!) I called the photo lab and she looked right while I was on the phone and found this incident but another incident involving trooper Christopher A. Blackmon wasn't available. They'll want the report #, trooper name and date. The addy is: Florida Dept. of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles. c/o Photographic Lab. 2900 Apalachee Parkway. Neil Kirkman Building MS 29 Tallahassee, FL. 32399-0545. Good luck!

Here are the "not worth posting" damage. Just because.

Did anyone else notice the accreditation decal on the '86? Haven't seen that before. Thanks for sharing.

That looks like a 1989 anniversary decal.
Nice pics BTW.

Another case of: "Never say Never" on these cars.:)

Bernie is right. Here it is a little larger. Troop D is Orlando - correct?
I have been looking forward to these shots. Happiness. Check out the hat in the rear window.

That's a great pic of the equipment placement in your car!:) I don't see any deck lights either.

Deck lights started in '90 I believe. My '90 had them. And dang, I want a 87-89 so bad because of the tan interior and black wheels! It looks bad to the bone!

Duh I forgot, what year is it? I agree the tan interior is sweet.

1988. I would be interested to hear the breakdown on alll the equipment you guys can see. I admit I know nothing about all the cop gadgets. BTW almost wrecked it coming home from flippin' Winn Dixie just now. Some waterhead pulled right in front of me on approach to my final right turn. All wheel lock up with no where left to go I had to curb it at maybe 50 mph. Two brand new Perrellis died in the incident. Pics coming in a minute.

Mouth breathers abound. I have a motor bike. I never ride it. A 1977 KZ 1000.
It is for when I move. Not if I move. When. The absence of attention while people are driving around here is ghastly. The average driver is either 300 years old, on a suitcase full of pharmaceutical drugs, on the phone or all three. Oh well. Had time to sort out my limited options and am glad no one or no thing was on the side of the road. I would have had to just sail right into the back of a sun worn gray 4 door Toyota with gold badgeing.

Oh man South Floriduh drivers, don't get me started. It could have been worse though.

Glad nobody was hurt and it didn't end up worse on the SSP!

By all means, Mike. Add away! And yeah!! Me too. I am very glad something really ugly didn't happen. Two tires? I feel I am getting off super light.

Yeah, that's why I don't drive mine, except to blow the cobwebs out now and then. If you think about how many SSP's have been cracked up and sent to the scrapper (got to be over 50%) it may make you want to do the same. Get a jap beater like I did and save those SSP's! I trust myself not to crack one up, just don't trust the idiots I have to share the road with, like the one who slammed on the brakes in the middle of an intersection a couple days ago because there was a car IN A POSITION to make a right on red, but wasn't doing it! My integra stops 10x better than a fox body (dangerous brakes), and has ABS to boot.

BTW, what color is the roof on that car, silver? It looks cool, and it's legal!

It's just a plain light gray. That is worthwhile advice too about putting the SSP up. I drive it everywhere. Perhaps it too needs parked like my motor bike until such time that I move away to a place where there is a lower concentration of flatliners.
