Only in Florida, right? The Florida Highway Patrol just unveiled their flashiest ride yet—a seized 2023 C8 Corvette. No, your tax dollars didn’t pay for it (thank the DEA task force for the free upgrade).

Originally destined for high-speed getaways, this sleek machine is now doing the most Miami pivot ever: community outreach and trooper recruiting. Because nothing says “Join the force!” like a Corvette in full FHP livery.

So next time you see a trooper pulling up in a $70K sports car, don’t panic—they’re not chasing speeders (yet). They’re probably recruiting your cousin at a car show. Only in the 305. 🏎️💨💅

Stay fast, Miami. But not that fast.
