    Our shop's new pride and joy: a vintage 1969 Econoline Ambulance

    Will do. It will be a process, but hopefully the guys in our shop will be able to find the time in the next few months. It'd be great to have her ready to go by show season.

    Glad you do! I'm not sure of its history, but I can see if the boss knows more. I'll post it up if there is anything interesting.

    Car vs 2 trains

    Very true. Didn't seem like it even crossed his mind until the other officer pointed at the 2nd train coming. Since the only results of all this were a broken arm and a totaled car, this situation is hilarious. From the video, it definitely could've been a lot worse.

    Paramedics targeted while saving lives

    It's sad that good people are trying to help those in need and are being targeted. During a call the last thing you need is to have to look over your shoulder on the way in or when you are working on someone. Be careful people!
