I think its pretty obvious in what car I found it, and yes, it'll pop on a sale soon! Meanwhile, take a second to look at how you could spec a Burnside back in 1993! The condition of this brochure is really good, apart from some folded edges. At this point I'm just wondering whether I should keep it or put it on sale with the car!

BCPD is known for using cars like the Gavril Grand Marshal and Roamer or Bruckell Bastion and LeGran, but but in their history they also used other, forgotten vehicles. Here is a list of them, with their history and all known facts!
1&2- 1996 Arima Cyriva and Ardeo
BCPD purchased five units of each model—the Cyriva and the Ardeo—in 1996. They were used for both city and highway patrols. The first Ardeo was wrecked during a high-speed chase on Interstate 110 and sold for scrap shortly thereafter. Another unit, a Cyriva, was involved in a collision on Platin Bridge in 2005. The remaining vehicles were gradually phased out between 2014 and 2025; today, only one Ardeo remains in service—the last survivor of the batch ordered 30 years ago. All models were powered by a 2.2-liter engine producing approximately 147 horsepower, paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission.
3- Raytom Median
In 2004, the BCPD began looking for a replacement for its aging Bruckell Legrans. They selected a vehicle from Rayton—specifically, the Median model. Two units of the newly facelifted Median were purchased for a trial period in 2005, with the understanding that more would be acquired if they proved successful. Unfortunately, these patrol cars turned out to be abysmal. Rayton had never intended the Median to serve as a police vehicle, and the car’s performance clearly reflected this. The vehicles were prone to overheating and battery drainage; furthermore, their handling and fuel economy were very poor. They were also plagued by electrical and transmission issues. The BCPD still retains the two trial units, using them occasionally for tasks such as closing off streets or escorting processions and pride parades. Both Medians are equipped with 3.5-liter V6 engines paired with 4-speed automatic transmissions.
In 1994, the BCPD urgently needed a replacement for the underpowered, unmarked early-model Legrans used for highway patrol. At the same time, Ibishu was launching the Luminance—a model unveiled the previous year—and, seeking good publicity, decided to donate one to the BCPD. Finished in a dull brown paint, the car was styled to resemble the base-model Luminance, though it was anything but; under the hood lay the 3.0-liter V6 from the ZX trim paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, allowing it to accelerate to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds. The BCPD was prepared to acquire more of these vehicles, but plans changed with the introduction of the next-generation Pessima. The Pessima was faster, larger, more comfortable, and more refined—making it ideal for use as an unmarked highway patrol car. The BCPD’s single Luminance remained in service until 2018, when it was put up for auction and sold to a private collector in Arizona.
5- Soliad Wendover
In 1992, the BCPD acquired a handful of new Legrans; however, there was one exception in the mix—a Soliad Wendover. Initially, the press speculated about potential misconduct by the BCPD, jokingly predicting that Burnside Windsors would be next, all while unaware of the department's actual plan. The Wendover was intended to serve as an unmarked city vehicle, allowing officers to tail suspects without arousing suspicion. It was outfitted with hidden strobe lights, upgraded suspension, an auxiliary radio, a radar gun, and an HF antenna. To the untrained eye, the car looked no different from the Wendover your cool aunt might drive. Over five years, the vehicle helped apprehend more than a dozen criminals before the city purchased new Gavril Grand Marshal Aero Luxe and Aero Wagon models to take its place. The car was then reassigned to the traffic division, where it served faithfully for another decade until it was heavily damaged in a collision on Royal Bank Avenue. Its ultimate fate remains unknown; rumors suggest it was bought by a collector, while others believe it was simply scrapped. This particular Wendover was powered by a 168-horsepower 3.8L V6 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

I have four Ibishu Luminance ZX posters for sale, all in good condition. I found them while I was cleaning a cabinet at my parents house, and decided to put the on sale.
My asking price is $105, price is negotiable.
After all these years, my parents decided to clean their attic, so of course, I had to help. While moving things, I found a bag with lots of paper in it. After digging through some old newspapers, I found THESE! I knew that my father was a huge car nerd(I must have inherited it from someone, after all) but I had no idea that he had kept his old posters! Most of them are in amazing condition, and I must say, they are like the second coolest things ever. When showed them to him, he was pretty much as suprised as I was. Then he said he has a suprise for me, and gave me a full brochure of his third car, a 1989 Bruckell Montana! He said that before selling it he had pulled it from the glovebox to have a memento of this car. Anyway, here are digitalized versions of them!

September 23, 1998, marks the date of what is likely one of the most forgotten disasters in the history of Firwood County.
It is 3:03 PM, and the Firwood Bridge- one of the main entry routes into the city -is slowly becoming jammed. The reason? A lane at the city-side entrance has been closed; the Department of Public Works is installing a speed limit sign. As rush hour begins, the already busy bridge becomes fully traffic-jammed. There are 12 vehicles on the bridge: 11 cars, one delivery van, and a logging truck. Around 3:09 PM, a garbage truck enters the bridge from the city side, heading toward the landfill located beyond Firwood. As it approaches the center of the structure, a loud sound of twisting metal is heard. At that moment, no one realizes the roadway is about to collapse. The 26-year-old garbage truck driver, alarmed by the noise, stops next to the logging truck in the opposite lane. He opens his door, but before he can step out, the middle section of the bridge sinks about a feet down. Less than a second later, three spans are torn from their supports, and the center of the bridge plunges into the river below, taking the garbage truck, the logging truck, the delivery van, and two cars with it. The true nightmare began only after the initial collapse. As panic set in, further sections of the bridge began to give way. Most people chose to abandon their vehicles in a desperate bid for survival—a decision that ultimately only made their deaths more horrific. Those who managed to escape later reported seeing people falling or being pushed off by cars sliding into the gap. Ultimately, 16 people lost their lives—many by drowning. The photos above show the aftermath just 45 minutes after the collapse and were captured by the Snooze News station, which was on the scene. At the time they were taken, it was unclear whether the bridge was safe to enter, which is why everyone is standing at its ends.
A subsequent investigation revealed a number of irregularities regarding the structure's condition; it was said to be a miracle that the bridge had held up for so long. It was also unanimously agreed that the authorities were responsible for these terrible oversights. However, county officials did everything in their power to ensure this tragic event was forgotten—and unfortunately, they succeeded. The bridge was rebuilt and reopened just two years later and remains in use today, undergoing frequent, regular inspections.

On June 27, 2006, around 11:45 AM, a Line 34, operated by a Wentward DT40L city bus was approaching its stop at Logan Park in the western part of Belasco. This area of the city is known for its steep streets, where a 25 mph speed limit is in effect. While driving down Marshall Street, the driver attempted to slow down upon realizing he was exceeding the speed limit; however, the brakes failed to respond. The bus accelerated to 45 mph before crashing into a blue Bruckell and a line of parked cars on the street below, destroying six of them, tipping onto its right side, and colliding with a silver Arima and a beige ETK.
Of the 54 passengers on board, 13 people died, plus the driver. Six of these passengers were ejected from the vehicle through shattered windows during the crash. The driver of the blue Legran and a pedestrian walking on the sidewalk near the Logan Park stop also died from their injuries in the hospital. All six parked cars were unoccupied.
Following the accident, a commission was appointed to investigate the causes. The investigation revealed that the bus had undergone a service inspection the previous day—including oil and filter change. It was also determined that the bus was overcrowded by approximately 15 people at the time of the crash, a factor that contributed to the severity of the disaster. However, the most important finding was that the driver had reported braking issues earlier that day—problems that were completely ignored by headquarters. Ultimately, a brake cable snapped, making it impossible to stop the vehicle. Charges were brought against the maintenance staff, who had failed to inspect the braking system during servicing, and against headquarters, which had turned a deaf ear to the driver's warnings about the vehicle's condition. From that point on, inspecting the entire braking system became a mandatory part of routine checks, as did servicing it whenever even the slightest issue was detected. The latter requirement was dropped in 2011.
This is the brutal result of impatience. A Deer Creek Distribution truck driver was fed up with waiting, so he decided to cross the level crossing before the train. It's safe to say that he didn't quite make it. An AVVR freight train plowed into his semi-trailer at about 80 mph. The impact was so violent that the locomotive derailed, dragging three boxcars with it. The train finally stopped after about 140 meters. The truck driver was the unluckiest in this entire situation, paying with his very own life for his impatience. The driver of the beige Feroci was on the other hand the luckiest, as the semi-trailer missed his car by mere centimeters. Aside from the train driver and his assistant, no one was injured, and the cleanup work took about 28 hours.
