That was funny....lighten up as you will learn Mr Bill and others on here have their own unique sense of humor and will add comments to inject some some levity to the string....we all need to have a laugh now and then

If you can't handle smart a$$ responses you're going to experience a lot of stress while hanging out here.
Heck, thats why I read the posts. I love the sarcasm.

You can't "love" sarcasm, but you can like it!

RadioFlyer was who originally designed this setup but I don't think he supplies them anymore. I have inquired about them and would really like to purchase the setup. It was about $250.00 back in `10 but I haven't a clue if, what or when you could get it now..

Just Google emergency vehicle strobes. I bet you'll find flashy lights.

I would guess the YouTube video in Mr. Bill's post #11 is what you are describing, but not sure what you would do with those on a street car? They would not be legal (except maybe in Colorado)?

All I asked was about lights, and received many helpful responses. But if Mr Bill and Corvette Ed feel delight to gang up on someone and make fun then so be it, this thread is closed for me. I am not into bullying, very low class.

In my defence, No one was bulling you, I am not the only one that didn't understand your question, I tried to help you with a video I thought what might of been what you saw, Some one needs a chill pill and it is not I.
I sure don't see where anyone has ganged up on you, Sorry that is how you feel.

There isn't a single post in this thread that even comes close to "bullying" you. You chose to create your own meaning out of what was posted, and it had nothing to do with bullying.

UUUHH,,,, OOHHHHH!!!, now you've gone and done it!! Accusing Mr. Bill and Corvette Ed of cyber bullying. You know this is a real crime right? Teenage kids have offed themselves because of it. Lou??! Lou???!! Your not a teenager are you??

Lou just take it in stride there was no intention of bullying, Mr. Bill and Corvette Ed can offer some good advice and knowledge on the C5s. Sometimes a crude form of humor may be attempted. But in no way is it meant to be offensive to you,, so please don't take it that way. And don't let them bother you,, in time you may come to like them,, kinda like the ugliest dog contests,,, you have to admit that they are kinda cute with thier tongues hanging out and cross eyed.
