This subject seems to pop up alot on the ssp sites on a regular basis. In my opinion when you own a in service look ssp you are just looking for trouble if you try to drive your car on a public highway period. The problem is always solved if you keep ALL the equipment on your car and put it on a trailer. If a owner of a ssp wants to drive there car getting complaints on a public highway is always going to happen. The GENERAL public does not know the difference that it is a older unit out of service,but they think it is a impersonator. Even if your lights/emblems are covered. The GENERAL public does not know the difference. The fact that people try to drive these cars in full service look, just expect to get stopped on a regular basis period. If I wanted to drive my ssp on a public highway I would paint it a solid color and keep all the external equipment off the car and enjoy it. I have had this conversation with my local CHP office and this is the way it is here in Ca. Maybe other areas of the country things are different?
