Now, two short videos of the lights and sound system in action. Forgive the low quality, it was snowing and shooting on uneven ground. Just lights: [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/0/f0d7e0bbd21765ea432bb5547540ab2e79d5967b.jpeg "Ecto-V2 Lightbar test") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r65AJ-DhcU4) Lights and sound. Music was set on low volume: [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/8/3/836aac770cba1c0d57a916c62e0f3b81d569829f.jpeg "Ecto-V2 Lightbar and sound test") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2pKtMuSc0M) Thanks for looking. ---

Ok, after much searching through the net. I found video of the Christmas Parade of lights that my group participated in. We show up at the 5:08 mark for about 4-5 secs, but we did get a moment in the limelight. Enjoy: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsBVtwfF8A](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsBVtwfF8A) ---

Ok, I know itā€™s been a long time since I posted anything. First reason was the car went into the shop to have some repairs done that needed it. What pray tell you might ask? 1. Engine mounts. 2. Radiator 3. Shocks 4. Struts 5. Oil change 6. A/C recharge Then after we got it out of the shop, it was just in time for Zombie Prom with the Ghostbusters of SLC Then during the Prom, the switch to my upper light bar broke. ā˜¹ So the following Friday, with the help of one of my team members, we set out to fix the switches and add some upgrades, it only took four hoursā€¦_grumble_ The first set of switches, replaced my mini light bar and the 350W amp for my outside speakers. The second set of switches near the radio, were kill switches for the interior speakers. This way we werenā€™t killing our ears when we used the outside speakers. Then last Saturday (8/21/10), Myself and one member (Lucifan) from GBs of SLC helped with the Juvenile Diabetes walk at Wheelerā€™s Farm in SLC. We got a pic with the Harley Davidson Mascot. I also helped the GBs of SLC at another event, but forgot to take pictures. Sorry. ā˜¹ And finally some rear shots of the car. ---

Good update! Nice job on the switches too. Do you use your carā€™s stereo system to play music/siren sounds on the outdoor speakers? ---

> [@MUBR](#): > > Good update! Nice job on the switches too. Do you use your carā€™s stereo system to play music/siren sounds on the outdoor speakers? Yes I do. šŸ™‚ The car stereo is a basic cd player with an aux port. But since I have a 350W AMP and a set of Marine speakers for the outside, I just converted the Ecto Siren MP3 to an audio file and place it on disc and it plays beautifully without any distortions. At a setting of 24 (on the car volume), I project about 5 feet from the car, at a setting of 28-30, I am projecting about 35-50 feet from the car. It does get attention when things are going. šŸ™‚ Thanks for the interest and question. šŸ™‚ ---

Another update. On August 21st, I was returning from a charity event in Logan, Utah, when the wind shear was so bad, it snapped one of my bolts on the side of my container and caused it to swing to the left side of the car. Luckily, I was able to stop on the side of the road and unbolt the rest of the container and put it inside the car. About a week late I was able to repair it. The pictures of that will be in the Ecto Roof Rack help topic. I just got the car out of the shop today, for a power steering leak, the hose had to be replaced, so something minor. And, I finally added something to the fenders and back hatch, that I have been wanting to do for a while, just hadnā€™t really found the time to look for it. Here it is - The little tag above the Taurus logo says ā€œLimited Editionā€ I always thought that would be a cool add on. Other than that, Iā€™m just having fun driving her about. Thanks for reading. ---

LMAO!! Nice one Boomer, I wish I could say mine had turbo, but Iā€™m happy with what she has under the hood. Btw, love reading your updates. Iā€™m trying to see about coming to Denver in April. Hope to hang out with you if I do. ---

On 09/29/10, I went to a Haunted Maze in Ogden, Ut. I didnā€™t get pictures at the maze, but snapped a couple of shots at the Dennyā€™s after wards. The maze was decent and got to interact with the cast and broke the 4th wall a few times, it was a blast. I went dressed in my [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) and one of my friends dressed up in Goth type gear. Here is the car before the lights on - This one after the lights were on - Another side shot - As I do move stuff in the next few weeks, Iā€™ll try to add more photos. ---

Ok, Zombie Crawl was a blast, had over 200 zombies for a first time event. I got a really great pic of the car with blood splatter, thanks to the idea from the Denver GBs. The rest of the pics are here - > **[GBFans.com](https://forum.gbfans.com/)** Thanks for looking. ---
