cruisers

Patrol cars, informally

Cruisers are warships designed for speed and range, larger than destroyers but smaller than battleships.

The term also applies to police cars that patrol streets, motorcycles built for comfortable long-distance riding, and people who cruise—whether driving leisurely, seeking casual sex, or traveling on cruise ships.
