Yeah, most of the cops are too young to really understand vans. Some of them were probably conceived in one!

I'm pretty lucky where I live. I know most of the cops and even have no problem when I take the blown Torana out for a run, so I can't imagine them having a problem with the van.
Vombil, do you mean that the cops think it's illegal to drive with the tailgate up, or just that with it up you look like a hoon?
Glacier 73, you are 100% right. It's the cool factor!
