In these parts isn't it a tradition to use a cop car, chased by many other cop cars, to get to the government building to pay taxes on the orphanage you grew up in?

Elwood: You don't like it?
Jake: No I don't like it...
[Elwood Blues floors the pedal and jumps over an open drawbridge]
Jake: Car's got a lot of pickup.
Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
[a brief thinking pause while Jake attempts to light a cigarette]
Jake: Fix the cigarette lighter.

"We frown on the police taking matters into their own hands.
Matters such as this are better left to private citizens due to safety concerns."
