What ever you are doing to be able to afford a car like that, I'd strongly recommend you do EMS on the side and keep on with your current position! :lol: Beautiful car, BTW!!
 
I drive a 1993 Ford Exploder named Fenway... because it's the same color as The Green Monster in Boston. 170,000 miles an one helluva bounce to it.

1997 GMC Sonoma SLS extended cab truck with 145,000 miles on it.
 
Dumb question, but are you allowed to get a red light and/or siren if you join a volunteer department? I've seen two volunteer firefighter pickups one with a rack light the other with a dash. ..not sure about non firefighting EMT's.

That really varies by state,city and the dept. Now where I am we are allowed to equip our cars but still have to drive normally. We are allowed some privileges. But all it takes is one person being a cowboy for all of us to lose our privileges also. Keep in mind it is a privilege not a right. Just like our vollie FD , the chief allows us to put lights on our cars, but he will not ok it for us to run firefighter license plates. Which I feel is dumb,but that is an example of how things can vary. All our sister depts in our county and all the EMS people can run firefighter, squad plaes and ema ,ems plates.
 
I use to drive a Chevy Beretta.
