I like driving my SSP, and I would not trailer it, even if I had a trailer (I know some states require it, but luckily not here). I doubt bad people think police cars have collector plates, and I bet some of them can read 8 words without being overwhelmed and opening fire. I also don't wear anything close to what a LEO would wear while I'm driving my SSP (or any other time, for that matter). Actually in Minnesota I don't even need to cover up any markings or equipment to legally drive the car on public roads. As long as the vehicle has MN Collector Plates displayed it can have whatever equipment and markings that were on it when it was new. I choose to cover up the markings as a courtesy to my fellow drivers who might think it is an active police vehicle and not want to pass me on the freeway etc. I also choose to cover up the emblem so local LEOs who are not familiar with the state statutes concerning collector cars will not waste my time (or theirs) with an unwarranted stop. I thought about a plain magnet, but then someone could still think it might be an undercover vehicle, where as if they see "Collector Show Car" they know what they are dealing with.
