hey guys long time no talk to everyone, i know this is totally not scion related but I want to buy a decomissioned fire truck. Not like one of the cool ones that you see today but like an older one. I was just wondering if any of you guys knew if its illegal to drive one. I mean im not gonna go down the street with lights flashing and sirens going off i just want it for fun. theres the impersonating police officer law but does anyone know if theres some kind of law in Tx prohibiting me from driving a fire truck on public streets?

I am a firefighter and have been for 10 years and from what I know there is nothing illegal about driving a fire truck. Just make sure it is inspected and registered and you should be ok. I wouldn't have and fire dept names on the side of it either.

hmm cool cause there some older fire trucks from like the early 80s going for like $5k and wanted to start saving for one i just didnt know if i could drive them on the streets.. i havent done anything new to the tC and im already bored so i need something new lol

lol this sounds like fun but wtf is wrong with u! who would waste 5k on that? gas will cost u a couple hundred to fill. plus i bet maintenance on an old FIRETRUCK wont be cheap. it will end up being a $5000 eye sore on your lawn.
