Few thoughts about the new layout
It was handier and easier to see when every thumbnail was displayed in the main gallery section, in the place now the featured and few of the most recent uploaded pictures are. By the way, has the shortcut to instert pictures been removed from the reply box?

Few thoughts about the new layout
Perhaps it's that I have barely been active since the site changed the layout and I am not used to it yet but, aside of the normal messiness of a new design, there's a bunch of things that are bugging me so far. The first thing is the new gallery format which only holds up to 9 pictures, which are often spammed by the same person. It would be welcomed if the old format could be brough back, where the miniatures of many more screenshots where shown. The second thing is how the profile works now when you open it. I would rather it to show the 'about me' section in the first place, as it's where I post the information about my mods and stuff instead of my latest activity around the forums, which I guess that nobody gives a single fuck about. Is there any way to change this so the first thing that comes out when you open the profile is the 'about me' page? Another issue is that the anonymous mode doesn't seem to work properly anymore, as it shows the last time the user had visited the forums.

[WIP] UN Vehicles
Interesting idea but you could elaborate the textures a bit more. I'd change the font and make the 'UN' of the doorside bigger and add few more of them in the hood or the roof or add other fancy letterings around some of the trucks (ie. Military Observers). The Military Police one could be elaborated a bit further as well like below in the spoiler.

1980s Detective Car
The MTA RTS bus on this picture is from 1988 and for the record, that particular model was introduced in the late 1970's. On the other hand, the livery, is indeed modern.

The Mind-Boggling Classic Cop Car Thread
So I was watching They Live (1988) movie and thought this scene, where the protagonist picks a shotgun from a LAPD Chevrolet Impala cruiser, could be a good reference for modding, assuming that the cruiser isn't simply a fictional movie made prop. Notice the place where the shotgun is actually placed, horizontally, below where the officer's leg would go. The scene also would show the configuration of the radio, the speed radar and how the Mobile Data Terminal is attached to the floor of the cruiser. Starts at 8:47. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWR3gkCUykk

Police cars torched at anti-austerity protest in Germany
They should have burned the new ECB headquarters too. You have to love impoverishing the people with austerity measures when you an afford building a 1.3 billion skyscraper.

Spanking in Europe and France
Some family member of mine got arrested few years back after somebody called cops on him for slapping his own son, who was misbehaving, in public. It was absurd, it's not like he was beating him or something; just a little corrective that wouldn't harm him at all.

Where is the CC/UN building in the game files?
pc>data>maps>manhat>manhat07.img The textures are distributed in various files, these are which I've been able to find in a quick search so there might be more. dm_unbuilds_mh7.wtd dm_undgrnd_mh7.wtd dm_un_mh7.wtd For the next time, the GTA IV collision map should be useful to find textures or models of each part of the map.

The Mind-Boggling Classic Cop Car Thread
Judging by the patch in the arm I suppose it's just a higher rank of the Pasadena PD (check the third picture, there's a closer view). --- In April 1989, a gunman commandeered a Greyhound Bus and held its passengers hostage on Parliament Hill. The man, who was protesting the death of Lebanese civilians, surrendered peacefully. LAPD Chevrolet Impala and interior detail showing the Mobile Data Terminal.

Do you remember the first time you've drove a car?
It was in the parking of a closed ski resort, to avoid cops to bother us as they wouldn't get up there. The thing is that the parking was in a slope and there was no way to put the car totally horizontally. So everytime I released the brakes and messed with the clutch pedal, the engine stalled and the car rolled backwards towards a river that flowed at the bottom of a ravine at the end of the slope...

Just driving through
I use scripts actually. I use Traffic Control System and then disable traffic with Simple Native Trainer. The problem is that this way there aren't taxis at all. For some reason, other times I tried this it worked fine.
