Yep. The signs may have looked better if they were done on graphic vinyl, maybe not rectangle boxes, and placed onto the back window. There is already an image that comes to mind when people say "storm chaser". For some reason, elmers with beer guts and tight t-shirts and poorly constructed, poorly marked vehicles covered in orange warning lights is what they see.
Shame. I wanted to be Warren Faidley, Tim Samaras, or Eric Rasmussen when I grew up.
Also, I really wish people would stop throwing in their two cents trashing on storm chasers. If it's not your thing, don't do it. If it is, stop taking a big fat dump all over those that do. "Chase from your deck" is ignorant advice, and comes off as antagonistic, arrogant, and elitist. We get it, Confuzzled. You're in some vague type of public safety that you never elaborate on, you're the expert on everything, and we should all bow to your superior intellect.
It's really hard to respect anything you have to say when all you do is act like a jerk.
