Do the police look after their cars quite well while they own them?

Completely disagree...

They get driven hard and ragged chasing people. They also get driven up kerbs and over speed bumps at BIG speed! etc etc.

They are normally very tired when they are finished being police cars.

Do you think the policeman has a chance or time to nicely warm the car up before thrashing life out of it?

they are abused but they are looked after, money is no object and the slightest problem is noted and fixed without a second thought.
