"A 2005 Saab 9-7 is not a luxury SUV. Just sayin."
OOPS, the Edmunds appraiser must have been partying a bit too hard the night before he penned his estimate. KBB shows current trade in value of a 2005 at $1,400 to $2,400 (pricewise, that kinda removes it from the current LUXURY SUV offerings).
The most important thing is that Seth likes it - and apparently he does, current value notwithstanding.

NADA shows from $2,350 up to $4,000. Mine would fall somewhere in between t that. I'd probably be offered $3,900 on the used circuit. I only paid $5,000 for it. Even though I had to drive to JFK's hometown to get it. In six months I've put 17,000 miles on it, trouble free miles.
I guess we can call it an "upscale trailblazer"

This truly is one of the most random threads... Going from a member asking a question about a decal, being called out how they present themselves, to debating a luxury SUV, to debating value of said SUV. Bravo membership, bravo.

You act like you are new here, this happens all the time. Typically its been moved to the ring by now, but nobody has done so yet. Its obviously been off the rails since the beginning, you were there and saw that...

That's why it's miraculous. It hasn't warranted moving it to the ring. It remained civil! Things don't usually go from contentious to this. I'd give you a Snickers... but I just ate it.

I prefer the SAAB, Seth.
I attribute it to "Chatroom Deprivation Syndrome".

This would explain a lot of the going on around here.

For me, Chat has been absent for a long time, although, currently, there is an icon (if that is the correct term) for it.. Right now, when I click on 'chatroom', I get a new window that has only a long list of posts, not conversations between members. Here is an example:

Yes, that is the new chatroom. At the bottom of that box you are able to input your text and use it for chat. I'm not sure if the auto-populating notifications of new threads can be turned off or not. For now that is what we have to work with.

I knew I could input using the access at the bottom, but not knowing who is there or not seeing a reply within a few minutes makes it a bit awkward for me. I am not complaining, but I don't see me using it in its present form.
Thank you for the information.

Word has it that the sticker skipped town, and joined a group Transgender midgets on a coast-to-coast adventure looking for the crystal skull.

There are many states that even if your permit says it expires on some date, but the second you either leave a department or your certification expires your light permit is no longer valid. I don't no the rules for your particular area, but for example, in NJ if you have a blue light permit and you move to Chief and get a red light permit, your blue light permit is automatically no longer valid and mounting of blue lights in your vehicle becomes illegal. You must also forfeit your light permit if you resign or are kicked off your department, and if you fail to renew it.
My question is, if you're not on a department I can understand still having the EMT stickers because you're still an EMT. But why would you need lights designed for responding to calls? Regardless of whether or not your permit is active if you're not apart of a department and are not in the process of joining one, having lights is asking for trouble.

I made a comment regarding both the decal and the lights. Not just the lights, so its hardly off topic. However I removed it as I did not read the previous replies and noticed that it was already well and done with. My apologies.

I'm a Transsexual Nazi Irish Eskimo with Ricketts & Scurvey here, & I now have the "EMT sticker". The sticker floated next to my igloo yesterday courtesy of global warming & El Niño (think Chris Farley), so I snagged it up. I'm having a hard time getting the adhesive backing to stick to my icy igloo walls--any suggestions? Oh, by the way the sticker doesn't say EMT. It says (NY) 'METS'. As in the weak baseball team that was beaten by my Kansas City Royals this past Autumn. As Linda Richman says on Coffee Talk, "talk amongst yourselves."

But, but. I'm a Mets fan. Literally all my teams did horribly this year, or made it to the end and lost. (Niners, Mets...etc) My NCAA team is doing well.

I know NY's Volunteer color is blue, and NYSP uses red.
I'll pull the lights in the morning. It's a few wires to snip and cap off. Won't take me more than a few minutes.[/QUOTE]
Obviously you don't know NYS Law. Yes Volunteers run blue, but all emergency equipment are also authorized blue lights. At this time, only to the rear. And most law enforcement I know in NY, if they see out of state plates, they give a professional cutesy and not bother volunteers from other states, if they can prove they are affiliated with a authorized agency.

I got a professional courtesy from a very attractive girl in front of me at the local Dunkin' Donuts this afternoon. After a very, very tiring day of turning wrenches she looked at me, and said "You, I bet you want free coffee"
