Q on my car!
Hey, you can easily run a Federal Q on your car. Take my pick up, I got a Q off of one of the old trucks in the barn and wired er up. First problem I had was I melted all my battery cables and the alternator fried. The front Edge bar worked but one of the side ones stopped. But I had a friend down
at the vo-tech that could help. Seem as though my truck only had ONE alternator and ONE battery!. Now a 72 ford F-150 with an 8' bed can hold A LOT of batteries. I just got some old truck batteries and a couple of cases of "D" cells and started wiring. Next thing ya know it works. So I turn
the key to start it and the starter spun right off of the engine, even blew
out the speakers on the ol sparkomatic. I had to make some adjustments to the voltage, the folks at the power company helped with that. Next thing was keeping em charged, as luck would have it I could make it just about to the fire house before the batteries would die. I found out that if I shut
off the back edge bar and one of the arrow sticks, I could leave the other 3 edges and 14 hidden strobes on and make it to the firehouse. When I press the Q button the head light wig wags stop and my dashmaster exploded, but I figure wearing welding glasses when I drive will take care of that. Gotta be careful while driving with a Q on your car though, had a little mishap to
share with ya. I had just mounted her to the hood, I wanted to put it on
the roof, but with the 4 edge bars and 3 antennas, there was no room, We got a call, put my goggles on and took off. I had just gotten up to 60 when I noticed the Q start shakin on the hood, she was drawin a little bit of juice, but I figured if I went fast enough I'd be ok... next thing ya know
the clock is spinning backwards and my Garth Brooks CD is spinning backwards and he is sayin some EVIL words! I didn't have much time to think when the Q tore right outta my hood and through the windshield!!! After I got out of the clinic, I took her back to the vo-tech and a buddy welded up some steel
to my hood so she wouldn't come loose. I had it all ready to go, even put 3 more alternators on the engine (that was easy, just get rid of that power steering and air conditioning, don't need that no how) So the Q was ready and we had a call, just as I had wound her all the way up... CHICKENS! Now
I know why them pilots are worried about birds in their engines! Well, when I get out of the clinic, Im gonna try it again. By the way, what is a hoople?
