Might actually keep some bad guys out thinking a trooper lived there with just the car and color.

I do know that Ca. is more annal (if possible) than Fl. about their colors.
Geek squad had to change their VW's from white doors to be legal!

Probably upset some of the .net hard noser's, but I still run my radar (at times) when I go to shows, and that does slow down the fast driving, radar dector folks.

This guy lives in FL, so anyone thinking he was a trooper would be mistaken. Black and tan, as you know.

It's illegal in FL to display blues, so he was in violation before Dennis Gage started playing with the incorrect strobes on the rear deck.

Not sure what you mean by ".net hard noser's", but if you want to play with your radar, who cares? I mean, driving around in an almost fully marked Camaro should do enough to slow down traffic, if you are worried about it, so what's one more thing?

1st of all, Where in my above post where did I say I was worried about anything?
Remember from previous posts of mine. I never drive around with a
FULLY MARKED or any marking showing especially to and from shows.
Now at sanctioned authorized shows, in parking lots, show areas where permitted by local pd's or escorted parades when specifically TOLD by local, state or local PD's to run lights, thats a different story.
This actually has happened at many shows I have attended, just a few, Canada from Detroit to St Thomas ford plant, 2 different times, Indiannapolis, Colo. Ripon Ca.,TX and it looks like maybe ??? the Chicago land show, which several of the .net folks might attend, will have a lights and maybe even siren parade?
I would bet if you saw me coming at you with the car BEING COMPLETELY COVERED you would and the general public, including the local L.E.O's maybe think it was just a wild color scheme. And by the way!! I didn't know, even with the research I have done, Fl. cars were Black/Tan. I really thank you for telling me as now I will have to change the color from it's Black and Creme/Yellow to black and tan. I have the correct paint code# if you are doubting me.

Perhaps Mike was thinking about this?




I think they sell Guinness in Texas... If not, maybe it was this?

[GSPI]

[NoDrama43]

Greg...... Guiness is good but I wouln't want any with ice cream.....

Ray...... seriously?? are you angry about something or am I completely misreading your post? If you have a complaint, concern, just need to vent, or are unhappy here, feel free to PM Imevil1, Nodrama43, or 28HopUp and communicate your feelings to one of us.

Bill Jr...... Ah Bill, always the well spoken one..... I applaud your intellect and communication skills. Lighthearted misdirection with humor ! awesome.

Thanks Jim! It's one of those skills I developed now that we have a teenager in the house.

Bill,

I'm back from my ride....For some reason, I missed your fancy beer and ice cream post (prolly 'cause I was using my phone). You are a funny guy (not as funny as Andy, but still funny).

Since I am a man of my word (it all goes back to that whole integrity thing), here is the Florida State Statute (FSS) for the FHP paint scheme:

http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/...s/0321.02.html

321.02 Powers and duties of department, highway patrol..........The department shall prescribe a distinctive uniform and distinctive emblem to be worn by all officers of the Florida Highway Patrol. It shall be unlawful for any other person or persons to wear a similar uniform or emblem, or any part or parts thereof. The department shall also prescribe distinctive colors for use on motor vehicles and motorcycles operated by the Florida Highway Patrol. The prescribed colors shall be referred to as “Florida Highway Patrol black and tan.”

Hope that helps you, Ray. You don't have to change the color of your car, though. It's the same.

If you detected anger! I can't believe that, as it definately wasn't meant to be, not me. When I get angry, which isn't often, you will definately know it.
I am old enough that I don't really have time for anger, and that serves no good use, waste of time.
Talking about re-painting my car tan, was a joke, and I figured any inteligent person would take it that way.
I just stated the facts.
I just get off here, if you thought that was an angry post. It's amazing that if someone differs in opinion, or questions one on a post, one of the main 3 moderators, makes us out the bad guys, and tell us to pm them rather than posting.
I have NO bad feelings for the 3 of you and sorry I hit a sore spot.
Ill stay on the other side and leave you guys, alone in the future.

Ray,

If you re-read my last post I specifically asked if I had misread your post. I guess I did given your response. By asking you to PM I wanted to make sure that if you do have an issue here you realize that here we allow members to communicate by pm and not get banned for simply disagreeing in private with one of us. (like what recently took place elsewhere)

sometimes it is hard to recognise "joking" in posts but thanks for letting us know.

If you like the other SSP forum better then by all means I think you are on the right track by staying there. They do have a camaro forum which we do not but feel free to visit here and contribute positively with our other members.

thanks
