    Thanks for the nice words. Working on getting some sponsors so I can make this thing look more like a "true" chase vehicle. Maybe get some faster data to the car...etc. Better things are ahead. :)

    I may be wrong,every state has thier own rules, but in Texas yellow lights are for construction, or road work only. The chasers here use flashers. They are the color of a strobe light and flash, I think? The Flashers are on school buses here aslo. Anyone else may want to correct me?

    Oh Ok I wasn't sure, I know there was a big up roar over the chaser lights but I never understood why.
    Some people claim the chaser lights interfer with other peoples driving abilities etc. etc. I always understood the chaser lights to only warn people of a stopped chaser vehicle or slow moving. I don't chase so I don't know.
