Plus another 10 for two NOS stickers. I sincerely doubt there's anything under the hood.

WTF, does he think he is John McClain? How in the hell can he get away with that and not have the driver of the engine run up to kick his azz for following the rig.

Oh man, I don't even know where to start with this. I don't know what's worse:
-Tailgating the engine
-The rolling stops through stopsigns
-The flat out running red lights.
-The extreme and unwarranted self-importance.
-Flat out getting in the engine's way when they arrive onscene.
Can you imagine what would happen if we introduced this guy to that guy in Staten Island with the fake FDNY truck and delusions of FDNY grandeur? You'd have a tornado of crazed wackery the likes of which the world has never seen.
Serious question, does this guy have any affiliation with the LAFD etc, and how entertaining would local law enforcement find this?
P.S. the radio traffic between those two guys is just priceless.

The post was from 2010. After 3 years I'm guessing that the user removed or marked it to stop the trolling

It wouldn't look so weird if the roofs weren't so rounded... They look to be the perfect width actually...

Yeah, I'm betting someone ordered those lightbars just based on written specs for the busses rather than actually looking at the busses themselves and seeing the amount of usable surface area there was.

Should have just put some large lightheads in place of the usual red/amber spots on either side of the TA. That would have been sufficient enough.

I know it's a "demo" unit....but still...Come on...
Surely the point of a demo unit is to portray your skills and creativity with using various lights to attract the best market price, instead of putting everything on it aimlessly.

There are several ways to prevent scratches to a vehicle's paintwork when using a mag-mount minibar. Here's one.

Truthfully, I wouldn't call that whackerish. Looks like almost every escort vehicle I have ever seen.jatchinson said:

I don't think "Certified Escort Vehicle" qualifies for impersonation ofa public official. There is no mistaking this van for what it's not. Furthermore, when it comes to lights, the setup remains rather conservative.

label this as "screwed up install" then...
lightbar is mounted to a piece of wood which who knows how its mounted to the luggage rack.

Not necessarily. We get out of state escorts through here all the time. They all have the silly NYS shield on their vehicles. Must be required in the V&T, but I'd have to go find it to be sure.
Summer of '11, all the steel for the new bridge across the lake here came up from PA escorted by a fleet of matching little red Ford Rangers. They were all from one outfit down there and all had the NYS escort shield on the doors. It took four of them for each section.
