Darrell 1 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I was looking out the window last night and saw a couple sitting in a Uhaul truck watching the light show. I guess they were taking a break after a hard day of moving. That got me to wondering - what is the most odd vehicle/conveyance that anyone has had pull up to watch their lights?

ItsMeBobO 444 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Last Saturday I had a taxi with a drunk inside who asked the driver to watch. Have also had the garbage truck guy ask me to turn on the lights at 6:30 am. A few nights ago a patrol car was out there all by herself for 30 minutes. Have had a fair number of 'walkers' this year with no vehicle at all who walk from nearby subdivisions. Link to post Share on other sites
harrison0550 70 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I had an 18 wheeler out there a week or so ago. It was really strange because I'm in a neighborhood on a dead end street. The entire time I've lived here I don't think I've see an 18 wheeler on this road ever. I guess he found it on Facebook or Christmas light finder or who knows but he found it and drove that beast right up in front of the house and parked it. Lol Link to post Share on other sites

rainyoregonchristmas 137 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Schwan frozen food truck. There were two guys in the truck. They got out and watched the entire 20 min show. Funny, no one orders from them in the cul de sac any more. Guess they needed a break. Jinx! Link to post Share on other sites

I had a cop car as well. A truck pulling an enclosed trailer full of High School Kids going to a Prom.Last year I had a motorcycle policeman who was on duty but came by to be with his family while they watched the show.

CKSedg 4 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I just remembered another unique vehicle. It was a large van full of old people from a local nursing home. They sat for about an hour and watched. I happened to come home while they were there and I went and spoke to the driver. I asked if I could get on the bus and talk to the elderly people. It was delightful. They were so kind, and said this was the highlight of their Christmas season. They all clapped and thanked me for the show. It was a great time for them, but even nicer for me.

Tim Fischer 196 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 Early in the season this year we had a large flat-bed tow truck watch for awhile. I was glad they came then since they were huge and there weren't too many other cars there at the time. Link to post Share on other sites

Crazydave 28 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) We have wineries nearby... so a bus full of (assuming intoxicated "wine enthusiasts") people enjoying the show.. they stayed the entire 50 minutes.The pizza delivery guy came to my house twice... when they asked for cross streets.. I told them the house with animated lights.However the best was the car load of "Happy Hour / Christmas party 40+ year-old women" They seemed to be in a very good mood, and they were BUMPING their stereo to the max... and "Wooooooo"ing constantly. They were a lot of fun! Edited January 4, 2013 by Crazydave Link to post Share on other sites
Redbirdruss 2 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a group home nearby that brings a van load of elderly people every weekend. There are a lot of groups that rent party buses and tour our neighborhood and always come buy to watch the show. One of my neighbors has an old Fire Truck that he rents to groups to tour the Christmas light every year. On the weekends he will bring 4 to 5 groups on a weekend nights.
