Things you would like to do to your rig but would never get away with
First off, PLEASE don't take this thread seriously!
I'd love to mount loudspeakers on the side of the rig (especially if it's a helicopter) and start playing Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries on the way to a scene (or ER). Yes, this was mentioned back in '08 in a thread about theme music. Still, it would be funny...

Put a push bar on the front of the unit. If cars don't pull over just ram them and push them aside.
Long travel suspension. To make the ride alot smoother.

Spinney rims, a fold out bed for those one hour plus return trips after a drop off, and a built in coffee machine.

A DVD player and xbox for long IFT trips.
A front seat that actually reclines and enough leg room for me to stretch out. Laser cannon on the front to eliminate the drivers that don't "pull to the right for sirens and lights" A heated/cooled compartment for my snacks. Voice activated lights/vent control in the back. A super soaker filled with versed or droperidol for psychs.

Taxi/limo tags instead of ambulance license plates, and a black/yellow checker pattern as a paint job. Super beefed up rear floods so that I can blind the tailgater that rides two feet off my bumper while I'm running hot through traffic.

Turn the main O2 on and torch it. POS Units we have.

An ejection seat, passenger side, for the hysterical Aunt who insists on riding in and the partner who won't shut up!

Thought of another one: How about Ben-Hur chariot-style rotating blades on the wheels?

Or the front license plate that flips up to reveal the rocket launcher. As well as a similar system in the back, but with nails, to deter lookieloos and crazy family tailgating you

Did a few modifications to our trucks via, leg hangin out the side door with flashing red eyes in the rear windows for Halloween, Christmas lights and disco ball for New Years....oh, and the hawaiian theme was cool too. A crew bimped their fender so, I put a 2 foot bandaid over it, which didn't go real big with the guy who crashed into those orange barrels
 It's fun to work near a novelty store  The boss wouldn't let us have mounted guns so, we settled for festive. The trouble I've gotten in hasn't been bad but, it isn't something I'd suggest if ya work for prudes. Though I think the Sups may have liked it all, they made us remove the decor anyway. The most trouble I ever got into was when I tossed the fake leg to a 3rd ride newbie on an accident scene and he up-n-quit. Sissy! |
