This picture hasn't been enhanced or manipulated. To quote Van Halen "You could barely see the road from the heat coming off". Too bad the A/C isn't working in my SSP!
The antennae work well for mounting U.S. flags, doncha think?
Me and the Mrs. -
The kids having fun (note the crowd refused to stand in the open sun cuz of the heat!) -
With us throwing beaded necklaces, we did get quite a few people flash us their "goods", but it was only the guys who lifted their shirts. The SSP, with its lights on and flashing, received a good response form the crowd. The only downside was that once we turned off the parade route after idling for over an hour in 96* heat, my SSP had had enough and konked out as I was pulling over to remove the magnetic signs. When I popped the hood I could see that the coolant was at a rolling boil in the overflow tank. Having ice and water in the cooler, I was able to cool it off, refill the radiator (after waiting for a bit), and drive home.
If anyone else used their car in a parade yesterday, please feel free to post any pictures.
