    Over the weekend, I believe it was at Sister Sludge in S. Mpls, my fiance saw a silver 11-12 STi in the lot, and the owner was taking photos of his daughter sitting on the hood... she said that she was adorable, and expects me to do the same thing someday...

    This morning, WRB bugeye sedan with gold wheels going west on 62 at cedar, as well as a maroon outback that I see fairly often, with tint and stickers on the rear windows...

    I spotted a black Subaru Legacy sedan (05-09) on 169 NB in the right hand lane for the 85th/Bottineau Blvd exit in BP on Saturday night while responding to a fire at 85th and Adair.

    Here's a quick drivers ed 101 tip: the large red truck with the flashing lights and that's making a ton of noise has the right of way. If it's behind you, get off the road and wait until it passes. They may be on their way to something slightly more pressing than your current situation.

    Wow really? I only have one complaint about emergency vehicles (fire trucks are usually exempt - they're very noisy :) ), but they honestly don't make enough noise. Recently on 494 I had an ambulance coming up behind me. My stereo was OFF at the time and the only real clue it was back there was the red/blue reflection off the back of the semi ahead of me. I could not hear it at all until it was maybe 50 ft behind me, I can't imagine I'd hear it at all if I had my radio on even at a low level.

    To be honest, the sirens aren't that effective at speed, especially in modern cars where they're usually fairly well insulated from noise.

    However, the new LED lighting packages would give Ray Charles a seizure. I have zero tolerance for people who aren't paying attention on a highway.

    I hear ya mang! I too am caught off guard by emergency vehicles on occasion. No matter how alert of a driver I try to be, they still tend to sneak up on ya. I feel like an ass every time one sneaks up on me.

    Maybe someone else can chime in as to why, but a lot just run lights with no siren these days.

    You likely won't ever see a fire truck or ambulance doing that, typically it's police cars responding to an "in progress" call ie Burglary, Domestic, etc and they need to get there fast but they also don't want to alert the location that they're responding to that they're coming. It allows them to get through traffic faster and still make a covert approach. Fire trucks and ambulances don't need to be covert.

    I think I spotted BroCo in his Subaru this morning waiting to cross HWY 65 at Bunker Lake. I was going to wave, but was busy watching for traffic so I could turn south.

    Technically.... in Minnesota all emergency vehicles are required by law to have both their emergency lights and sirens engaged when breaking any traffic laws. And just like you said, squad cars are the only vehicles allowed to break traffic laws with only emergency lights engaged for involvement crimes.

    I'd probably flip you off too if you flashed me and raced up to me. But then again I have a habit of fingering after being flashed. Lol.
