Most of my excitement is from the expectations of people following the restoration of it. I could care less about the attention. It is mostly for the people I know seeing it for the first time at shows. Most of them would have the same reaction as I did when David drove in... "WOW!" Everytime I go to a show, I try to meet up with several others I know, whether they are showing a car or not. I use it as a social gathering and I've met and became friends with many people through conversing about my Mustangs, their Mustangs, or both. I like to think of my SSP as a conversation piece... very few people have one!
Last summer, I decided I wasn't going to do anything more than wig-wag lights and mounted (not plugged in) Motorola controller due to it being my daily driver. Many people in various Mustang clubs (member of four) keep asking about the resto process and expect to see it at shows ranging all different places around New England, as they are all awaiting the lights and siren to be functional. I'm sure that after a couple of car shows, it will get old since everyone would expect it when I arrive and the people who wanted to see it would have already at a previous car show. So for the first few, I'll be chirping the siren a few times on entry, but after that, probably won't go on unless it is my first time at that car show location or I have a new co-pilot (I usually bring one of four or five different people to shows), making it exciting for them. I don't mean for it to be annoying, just different!
(That's me wearing the sunglasses...lol!)
You don't have to worry about me blasting the sirens and lighting up every place I go. I actually will not even use the siren in my own door yard, as I live right in the center of town. First place I will do it... at the local PD! They are all waiting for it! Parades, car shows, and cruises are all I plan on now that it isn't my daily driver!
Unless anyone is going to car shows in the northeast, plan on being able to see it in NC for the 2010 "Mustang at the Mansion!" It should be painted by then!
NoDrama43... I'll be PM'ing you regarding the light switch box in a few minutes!
