People really need to think about what all the other motoring public sees and what opinions they may formulate because of how we drive the cars. I have made mistakes with the cars myself over the past 15 years, but I have learned from my mistakes and the mistakes of others. The sooner everyone gets on the same page and makes "image" a priority, the better we and every other cop car owner/driver will be accepted. It only takes one childish act to tip the scales against us as we have seen in the past. We all make mistakes, and sometimes we just need to say...wow I screwed that up and it won't happen again.

Jim, that was an extrememly well-worded comment about the responsibility involved with owning/operating an antique/classic police vehicle. GSPI is right - it's how our actions are perceived by the public that carry weight. It's obvious that some SSP owners have differing opinions as to what's acceptable behavior and what is not. Given that individual states have different laws about what is allowed and what is not, it becomes difficult to develop any common sense guidelines for owning/operating our SSP's. But by having an intelligent open discussion, hopefully we can bring light to an important topic related to our hobby.
