Yep! I briefly looked into it but was told that it wouldn't be possible to get it anywhere close to me by rail.

I've been trying to forget about that part of this - the cost of shipping SUCKED.

I didn't make that up! I saw one a couple years ago that was for sale. I contacted the seller and asked if it came with a trailer. I just couldn't resist. He never wrote back but it WAS for sale on eBay!

When is Barcamp this year? I'll bring it :)

Or passing an emergency and getting flagged down. I'm hoping that nothing like that ever happens.

I joke that their proximity to my firetruck should reduce the cost of their home owners insurance. They should be thanking me :)

These are good points - pollution, eye sore, blind spots, etc. I try to be really careful with it and be aware of my surroundings as much as possible. As far as the neighbors are concerned, I weighed purchasing the fire truck that I'd always wanted against possibly pissing off the neighbors. The rest of that story is history.

This made me laugh out loud - thank you!

The problem with antique registration in Montana (and this wasn't made clear on the state website) is that you can only drive an antique to and from parades and/or car shows. I had originally planned to register it with antique plates because it's more affordable than a standard registration. That was a deal breaker though.
