Antione, he has lots for sale, he prefers to do volume buys, the more you buy the lesss it cost. for an additional $50 for the red turbobeam, he threw in the ten strobe turbo flash. he keeps more stock 20 minutes up the road, since his garage aint big enough, he has full aisles and shelving to the roof of stock and products, big rubbermaid totes full of parts and lighting, everything is organized by brand and product, its pretty much a dominion/target tech store. he also has grote, unibond and some sws and whelen products. some of the federal signal is rebranded as grote, like my firebeams.


and Chris, Ill let you know when i go back there, she had a pretty busy planned out weekend for me, so i was tied up. plus, i wasnt driving much since i had a rental, my truck died leaving sudbury, and i can only legally drive my f550, i quit drinking too, been over a year.
