Looks like he went dumpster diving and just threw everything in the car and left it as is. And why do I get the feeling the "wiring" is what ever he had around and just twisted or wire tapped off the hot lead off the battery, no fuses.

I recall the rear deck looking like a mess. e.g. Crooked. Is it even mounted right if at all? I don't want to watch the video again and/or listen to that ridiculous sound! If I'm right, you forgot that too.

His car is a dump... :sick:


When I see such a state of chaos inside a personal vehicle, I always wonder if its owner actually took a shower lately...


I suppose it goes along with the light setup mind you. :yawn:

Go figure the meeting of heads of state from different REACT groups would meet in front of a Golden Corral. Also according to the caption of their web page Christ is a member of their team:

Me and Roy and Dawn and Christ of Tampa Bay REACT Florida and Don Manlove REACT Intl. Press. on 09/05/09 it was Good to meet Them. Chief.Jay Flora

These are the lights on the deck: (note the push button on the whites)

Ah, good old Blazer. Can't talk about their "emergency" lighting but their general lights are actually acceptable considering the price. If you needed amber warning and had a low budget, think less then what a burger costs, then I suppose they would be acceptable. But I guess sticking some yellow tape across the back your car would do the same job, yes I have seen it done!

With such stringent physical tests to pass the REACT exam, no wonder Hubert ended up with a ... well, damaged disk (in his back, not to be mistaken for those in the front... but I digress)


Guys, a little empathy would be 'de circonstance' here ... please..

Mounting is so over-rated when you can just toss the bar on the rear deck without even bothering to center the dang thing... :duh:

You mean my lights are suposed to be centered? I thought the angled thrown in there look was correct. I guess i should get to work on fixing my lights.

He's not only in your state, he's in my town, within my response area... He's been blacklisted from every VFD in the Charleston, Berkeley, Dorchester tri-county area... That truck is no longer on the road after he wrecked it. Last I heard, he was driving around in a CVPI with equal lighting until he wrecked that too "while responding to an assignment." He's got a few followers that are all like him, driving around with lights for no reason, "chirping" their sirens if they drive past a fire station or apparatus on the road...

So, this little turd apperantly has some kind of connections locally and managed to weasle his way onto my department. So far, on his first day, he showed up for training/orientation driving a retired CVPI from a neighboring jurisdiction's police department. Although the graphics had been stripped, you could still clearly see that it was an old North Charleston PD car. He had a Cobra CB with a huge whip on a trunk lip mount, a GM200 (I believe) with a rear fender mount antenna, knock-off LED3 TIR style lights on back deck and back side windows with wires just running along the seats... 2 days later he shows up in a faded blue explorer because his CVPI died (No kidding... Anyone from this area knows NCPD beats their cars to death). When backing our trucks into the station, members are required to act as road guards (SOG states minimum attire is Long pants, close toed shoes, traffic vest, helmet, traffic wand) and he insists on doing this in full structural PPE as well as the vest and wand. Rumor has it that he left a class because the HT1000 that he carries "vibrated" alerting him of a call for our department. Little did he know one of our other members was in the same class and thier pager never went off. For someone who displays their own personal gear in their youtube videos, he has no idea how to properly do a dress-out drill. More updates to follow.

Co. 4 in Berkeley? The Confused and Bewildered Fire Department? Just kidding man, no hard feelings. I'm one of Mike's boys, see if you can figure out what that means. :D

The video has to be a parody...right? There's no way someone with such poor mechanical skills could be welcome as a volunteer, unless it's to keep the area around the house raked. I suspect he played with dry cleaning bags as a child, and is now afflicted with some sort of brain injury, or possibly his daddy is Chief.

Daddy is actually a Batt. Chief with a nearby paid department, not City of Charleston but just a bit North of it... if you catch my drift. Also, I love his youtube username, the boy probably couldn't hit a target, never mind a bulls-eye, at 100 yards.

So he spent around $400 for lights on his lawn mower....... People never cease to amaze me.

Perhaps this is primary method of transportation? Notice the political sticker on the back. Perhaps he thinks the lights will cause more people to read it as he makes his daily run to the beer store on the lawn mower.


Yes, there are people that do this in my area.

IIRC, those vans have been brought up multiple times before. Some speculate that they are owned/operated by companies like AT&T, Verizon, Sprint... as signal testing units, others speculate they belong to the FBI, CIA, NSA, and other alphabet agencies... I think they belong to aliens.

I have seen three of those vans down here in my area. A black,white & navy blue units, all with DARK tinted windows (to the point you cant see who is driving) & the same amount of antennas. I mainly see them around the Norfolk Southern tracks.

No No No, guys you're all wrong. Men In Black are driving those vans for the room when they transport the aliens back to Mars.Lol. Kidding aside I'd be interested in where the plates registers back to? Hint.

Yes they are test vehicles for cellular companies and they are needed to test the cellular systems so you can send your tweet that you just saw Britney Spears at the Ivy. They drive around testing the cellular signal and report this to know where to make updates of changes. They are not whacker, they must have all those antennas to test the system. Here is a link to an article about from Verizon Wireless.
