Just having some fun on the way home from Bristol, TN last week. I thought this would be fun for my first Media Share post.

Hey have you tried SFI rated padding? Much thinner and holds firm.

Now that I'm starting the new job, I should have time to get the site finished and forums up, etc. The car is advertising a new business that I'm starting and will be primarily focused on shows & track use as opposed to a DD. The business targets Law Enforcement - Fire - Rescue - Armed Services - Intelligence communities and more specifically the car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiasts in each of those groups. There will be a vehicle representing each group - mine happens to be the law enforcement vehicle. All profits from the business go to recognize and reward the selfless acts of worthy individuals in those communities. Since the business isn't a site sponsor or anything (yet), I'm not going to get into the details of the business itself or site links on here.

It's definitely a bit too flashy for a DD, but so far the police have loved it - and when they see the message on the rear bumper explaining the purpose, they have been very supportive. The graphics will stay on as long as I'm advertising the new business.

I had to drive it on this latest trip because the AC was out in my truck (which is currently my primary DD & tow vehicle). That's how this "story" came to life. I took several pictures while traveling through KY, WV, TN, NC & SC - when I was looking back through them, this was the natural order of the pictures (with a few additional that I left out). It was one of those CSB moments & i decided to share.

I've checked out a few different ones. I wanted something that would compress vs firm because my cage is up against portions of the top when it closes, dash, doors, etc. I also wanted thicker rather than thinner because I do end up driving the car at times without a helmet and may not take the time to remove the front hoop. I didn't want it glued in place because my cage is powder coated and I may want to take the padding off later or change it out without having a complete mess of adhesive and particles of foam.

After looking around, this seemed to be the best choice for now.

Cool idea, but even if I did not think so I'd say that because I have to BE POLITE!

If it wasn't for a cause, I would have just done the graphics for ZDayz and then taken them off. I appreciate what those folks do for our communities and I want to do something to give back. Since I have ties to people in those communities, I realized that a lot of those same folks are our car, truck, and motorcycle enthusiasts. Just something to make me feel better about my time left above ground.
