Yeah Rob I read this. One of the spots on the cow (top left) is shaped like a pig. I think they said maybe thirty of them have it. LOL

Snort!

My son-in-law is a cop and every time my daughter and new baby grandson visit I show the little one this flying and oinking plush pig toy I have and tell him "It's Daddy!"
I need to find a little cop uniform for it now.

If I was a Vermonter I'd be more upset about what the hell those three things on the left side are. What the hell are they? Giant mushrooms? Aliens? Citizens of Vermont?

BTW, Eric, there is no need to apologize to a rapper for stealing their lines. They steal (sample!) half of their material anyway.

I'd never apologize for stealing a rapper's line ('cause it was probably never his to begin with) - the apology was for changing it (from "Whoop Whoop!" to "Oink Oink!").

They are not magic mushrooms, but bales of hay. Maybe they shaped them more like magic mushrooms on purpose...

That's funny, and cute at the same time. I have seen some stuffed pigs in uniforms before.
Welcome back, my friend. However that car in your avitar is not blue and not a Vista.

Wasn't that Super Troopers movie set in Vermont?


BTW Rob- that Custom Cruiser in Bluevista's avatar is the closest thing there was to a Vista Cruiser in its time. Raised roof, glass panel. I always thought they might have sold more of them as Vista Cruisers than Custom Cruisers, never mind I'm a Custom Cruiser kinda guy. Big wagons rule!

I wish I could find me a nice 90-92 CC. I'm convinced they no longer exist in this part of the world. Even the Caprice and Roadmaster versions are getting scarce.

Good to be back, thanks Rob.

The car has a blue interior and a vista window?
How about you can see a vista of blue skies through the vista window on a nice day??
You can see a blue interior through the vista window???


I agree that the '91 and '92 Custom Cruisers are more like a Vista Cruiser. more like them than the earlier Custom Cruisers... except for the chebby engine.
I had wagon withdrawal and needed to get something and the Vista Cruisers cost too much now. After I sold mine and that W30 Vista sold all the prices on them went up big-time.

If I train him well when the little one talks and he sees a pig and calls it "daddy" when he's with daddy my mission will be successful.

Female inmates put pig image in Vt. police decal

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) - Female prison inmates are to blame for a prank that put the image of a pig in a decal on the doors of some Vermont state police cruisers.
Department of Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito tells WCAX-TV female inmates at the prison work center in Windsor are responsible for altering the decal in
2009. But he says figuring out specifically who did it is impossible unless someone confesses.http://bit.ly/xtzXer
The pig in the 16-inch decal was first noticed by a state police trooper washing his car Feb. 1.
One of the spots on a cow in the state crest was changed to the shape of a pig, a derogatory term for police.
State police say they believe the pig decal has been added to about 30 cruisers in the past year.

--- Information from: WCAX-TV, http://www.wcax.com

As a 30 year veteran of law enforcement....this is hilarious. While there have been reports that they will change the decals, I say save the money and have a sense of humor.
