    Is it street legal or even operational at the moment?

    Also, next time a cop pulls you over and gives you shit for having no doors, say "But Jeeps can get away with it!"

    One thing I've learned working at a bar, and after seeing what @Jamesboy2233's truck sent through, is that "Indoor Use Only" might be a mere suggestion...

    We've probably had these fans for about two summers, and they really been to hell and back!

    There were four...

    One of them has a bent blade because a drunk patron fell into it; The other three are still in service!

    These two along with the third were just drenched in monsoon-like rain!

    Street legal.....its in that gray area. Most of the drivetrain is out so non operational.
    Been pulled over with the half doors, usually cops have been cool and just let me snap my windows on, then be on my way.

    Also, do you get more grief from the fuzz in Maryland, or when you're out of state?

    You'd think the cops would be more diplomatic to out-of-towners who pay to enter their vehicles in the show, stay in Carlisle hotels, patronize Carlisle shops and restaurants, and refuel at Carlisle gas stations...

    I heard about a guy who got "so many tickets" in Carlisle while attending the Truck Nationals "that his license almost got suspended" and then basically got run out of town because he was parked in a Wendy's parking lot in his lowered truck and the cops didn't like the way said truck looked; I'm 100% sure I'm not getting the whole story, but still...

    I discussed this before and showed a picture...

    One of our bouncers works at a car dealership and brought these old brake rotors in to use as umbrella stands/weights!

    I love the crown Vic’s. Sadly our department is phasing them out so there’s only a few left at each station. The explore is taking heir place and is not a fan of them.

    Only thing about the crown vic is I wish they had a little more power. Got into a pursuit the other night against a 2018 charger R/T. After reviewing my ICC the charger was topping out of 3rd gear before I was topping out in 1st. It was a couple hundred yard in front of me. Never stood a chance of catching him. Luckily we had air support for track him down!

    If I were you, I'd tell your boss to lease a vehicle for the night club. I wouldn't be comfortable gaining mileage just because my workplace doesn't have a company vehicle.

    You traded in a Taco for a Yaris? Do you have a picture of that Tacoma?
