I don't consider myself a control freak, however I think it can be said that you pretty much know where you stand with me and I don't sugar coat much. The issue of posers playing with their emergency equipment is not an issue that is reserved just for mustang ssp owners. Ask anyone who has been in the hobby of owning/restoring these types of vehicles and they can talk about the people they have seen engaging in embarassing, rude conduct across the country. This specific issue has been discussed within our circle over and over so it isn't anything new to anyone interested in preserving classic/antique emergency vehicles.
I think the video on you tube speaks for itself. Some may view it and believe it isn't a big deal. Some may view it and have the opinion it doesn't bode well for our hobby. In any event it is out there for the world to see and formulate an opinion about.
Due to the weather forcast I left the show yesterday at 1530 hours to come back to the house. I will however be attending other shows and events across America in the coming years so Chris will have plenty of opportunities to continue his temper tantrum.

Very well said, Jim. I'll add that since you put a gun and badge on every day, and fight the fight that others won't or can't (but sure do seem to want-to-be very badly), you will always have my respect as an LE brother.
Bill, thanks for taking care of the warning. I'm on my last day of vacation and just sat down at the airport for the flight home.
Chris, I concur with what Bill said and suggest that you take any further comments to PMs (no one here wants to see any of that). Jim posted an opinion of the behavior he observed , and not personal comments about individuals. It was not a personal attack on you, and any further personal attacks from you towards him, or anyone else here, will not be tolerated.
These cars aren't "toys". It's attitudes like that that tarnish "our" reputation with others in the Mustang hobby as a whole.
