Re: Watch out for CA CHP V70-XC70 01

Yes..I have seen a few of them in the Santa Cruz area. I also saw one in the service bay at my local dealer. My flight examiner is also a 15 year CHP officer. During my last bi-annual he told they are the best high speed units they have ever had. He told me a few stories about the old Mustangs that they used and still do use. They are quite a scarry experience in a sustained high speed chase. Anything over 80 is a real panic in them. But in the Volvos he said cruising at 100 to get to a problem traffic accident is very secure. He also told about many of the guys love catching BMWs and humiliating them by how easy they are to catch. His officers have handed out more than just a few $500 tickets to these BMW speeders after persueing them in a V70. I asked if us Volvo owners will be spared by these guys. He laughed but said the officers he works with truly love these new cars and never expected they would be so great.
