00-01 Maxima Undercover Cop in NYC
It really does exist.
I was driving on Northern Blvd in Great Neck, New York.
On the side of the road, I saw a Black 2000 or 2001 Maxima pulled over.
It had strobelights inside the grill, and the headlights were flickering like crazy.
Also had strobes inside the car, in the front and rear windshield.
Just like the way undercover Impalas look, but it was a Maxima.
There was nothing special about it.
Plain Maxima, with 17" rims, like any other you see on the road.
I was so shocked while I was passing by.
The undercover Maxima pulled over a silver Mercedes CLK, right in front of Americana Mall.
Just thought I'd share that with you guys.

Yeah they do exist. My father is in the NYPD and some of the officers go out and buy the strobes and LEDs to turn their personal cars into an undercover car. although, it is very rare that they are ever allowed to use them. They are also something to look out for, a lot of "imposters" posing as police officers have been pulling over cars so they can make an easy car jacking

That might explain why I have see Maximas parked in areas that are known to be problem areas where car theft is rampant. I have been to some parts of NYC and have seen Maxes parked on certain streets and I use to wander myself if the car was parked there as a bait.

alright personally i never seen an undecover maxima cop in nyc. i seen bunch of cops having the orange e-zpass in their car, but my NYPD buddies explained that those cars are registered with the NYPD and when needed can be used in like undecover operations. Such as some one posted a "bait" car. but having like an all out maxima driving around pulling people over for speeding thats beyond my dreams. the only think i can think of in brooklyn is like the HATZOLA guys in volunteer ambulence dressin up their personal cars wiht all kinds of strobe lights. but if this maxima undercover is true, i'm def going to join the NYPD. i'll make detective in no time. every other herb wants to race you when you drive a maxima.

I never seen any down here in TX...the closest to having it here were taxi's in the 2000 model. Do you all think the cops add on some performance mods to the maxima like they do to the supercharged cameros and vette's?

there are 2 or 3 unmarked police maximas (5th gens) in the Richmond, Va. area too....supposedly one of our local org'ers decided to try to pull on one on the highway (not knowing it was a cop) and promptly got pulled over

Leave the strobes to the REAL officers who "need to get somewhere in a hurry".

I have seen 2 civics (riced out) and a prelude. The prelude is pretty fast and he is cop, and the 2 civics are always together. One will pull up at the light next to you and revv his engine then if you take off the other civic behind you will pull you over.

And they ruin them by painting them that nasty gold color....not the stock gold color...I'm talking the ugliest, mattest gold paint I've ever seen.

edit: I don't know if they modify the maximas...but I bet you've seen those TX State Troopers in their Crown Victorias...those things haul!....the Troopers also have a 5 Liter Mustang.
