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

 

Guy in my neighborhood drives a deuce and a half from Korea era. As long as theyres no affilation to any gov't agencies you should be cool

 

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.

 

crap man where have you been?...lol

 

2k8... are you really wanting a fire engine? even if its a project?

____ bro i just been working like a crazy man!!! what about u!? saw your kit for sale. i been thinking about dumping mine to. i really want a si sedan or a wrx hatch hell i might take a twin turbo fire engine if i can find one too.
