your first post said "LIGHTS... but no siren yet! (In the next few days! )

and then this "ACTION...
Putting it on the road tomorrow and the first "official" public appearance will be at the Mustang Car Club of New England members-only road trip to the Ford Memorabilia Museum (no lights or sirens), but the debut of the lights will be at the Memorial Day parades, but getting even more technical, my first "everything activated" car cruise will be the one at the end of the month in Framingham, MA! I can't wait!!!

Yes, I am more than a little excited right now... and I mean that in a non-sexual way

and then "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.
and this evening this was forwarded to me from an .org member as being a post made by yourself.

"I could care less about sirens... just wanted to know if we could run everything unexposed (no covers over the lights). Seems like my ".net" post is causing quite a stir regarding the siren, for no reason IMO!


first off lets just all agree you DID talk about using it in public. That is what created this thread in the first place. Obviously there is not any misunderstanding.

Ok so now lets get to the important part . There is no "stir" here, just legitimate opinions being voiced by our members. In addition, to clarify, your use of the .org member name DJP in your original post has no bearing on our opinions, as we would have the same opinions regarding the use of a siren regardless of who "alledgedly" got the stares. You obviously are not now, nor have you ever been LEO so we are not suprised that you don't understand, that is why we are trying to explain the reasons supporting our opinions. If you want to review the posts on .net (and apparently .org) you should be able to recognise that most everyone has the same general opinion regarding the use of the siren.

Seriously just show the car while being courteous to the moms with the little babies sleeping in the stroller. It is a simple concept that should be fairly easy to grasp. Sirens are not cool and not toys to play with.

Lets put this one to bed and get back to what we do best here........enjoying special service mustangs.
