Today is a very special day. First, it is imperative for us to note that on this day 109 years ago--June 16, 1903--the Ford Motor company was incorporated. Ford is the proud maker of Crown Victorias, the car that we all love to hate, the car of old people and undercover cops. Happy birthday, Ford!
Second, and of no less importance, today marks the first submission from a reader of this blog who has carefully recorded his own experiences with the old person/undercover cop conundrum. Chris' submission is copied in its entirety below. Thanks to Chris for his keen eyesight and thorough reporting. Our readers will surely benefit from your insight.
LOCATION: I-20 East, between Columbia and Florence, SC.

Doing about
80 headed toward Florence from Columbia, I noticed a silver Crown
Victoria quickly approaching in the rear view mirror. Sure that I was
headed for a ticket from the South Carolina Highway Patrol on my first
ever trip to the state, I switched lanes and began to slow my speed.
Much to my surprise, the Crown Vic stayed in the left lane, maintained
its speed, and passed me. Sitting in the front seats were two
octogenarians.
VERDICT: Old Person(s).

Until next time, readers.
