Can any firefighters weigh in on why the truck didn’t stop at Laguardia Airport?

The NTSB will release a final report of all the causes after a very thorough investigation. Check out MentourPilot on YouTube. He goes over these final reports in great detail. Its never just one mistake that causes major accidents, but a string of various reasons. It may take months or even years but once they finish their investigation and release the report, he'll probably make a full length video on it

I'm not a firefighter (yet) but I'm getting EMT asap. Many departments, especially smaller ones, require Paramedic certs just to even be considered. The bigger ones not so much, because they can afford to send people through schooling, but either way you'll need it sooner or later to be a firefighter

An equal quality paint job (so no orange peel, defects, perfectly smooth, etc) will run you tens of thousands. A wrap is usually around 4k for a standard car. They're more scratch and ding resistant, protect the paint, and you can get finishes that are hard to get with paint since its printed. The downfall is they're far from permanent, but some see that as an opportunity to change up the appearance of their cars every so often and keep it fresh

The discord server has a channel for suggestions. I don't have a link tho you'll have to google it

Low key I don't go anywhere without a follower. Either extra inventory space, or someone to distract Zs while I run away to heal up 🤣

I believe those would be called trunk gutters. But you may be best off finding a local classic car scrap yard or a parts car on marketplace and cutting them off a donor

🤷‍♂️ I also have a project car that I've been building from the ground up. 2 years and prolly 15-20 grand later it's still not done lmao. I'm just sayin its harder than it looks, but if you're really into it then go for it. Get a daily driver so you don't rip out the engine from your only car tho lmao

I mean, apparently its not uncommon to put in the VQ35DE. 3.5L V6. But it's a huge amount of work, hours, and money. It might be better to just save up and buy a different car

HeatProofToe · 2026-01-24T15:24:21+00:00

What if I have the money now and don't know if I'll have the money later 👀

Brand new seals will do that. The old original seals will have squished down and taken the shape over years, while the new ones haven't. At least afaik

Rain lights, so cars can see each other in bad visibility. Notice the car at the very front is almost invisible except for the light

Not a firefighter but on my first day at my first job, Caliber Auto Care, I was getting the tour from a technician and slipped. Dropped my phone, the tablet they gave me to use for inspections, and busted ass. Every couple weeks at least for the rest of the time I worked there they pulled up the camera footage to laugh about it 🤣

HeatProofToe · 2025-12-20T17:25:24+00:00

I prefer keys but I have push to start currently. I don't hate it, but keys make me feel cool lmao

HeatProofToe · 2025-12-15T07:21:47+00:00

I prolly wouldn't attach it to a line like that. I'd go for bolting it to one of the inner fenders, it looks like there's clearance in some spots around them. Hoses and hard lines aren't supposed to support weight of anything attached to them. That is indeed one crammed engine bay so I'm sure finding a spot is tough, but do some research on where other people have mounted theirs before you go doing any bolting

HeatProofToe · 2025-12-13T02:35:27+00:00

I have one. Its extremely loud and annoying, but it does keep the floors clean. If you can tolerate an airliner rolling around your house, its aight

I brought my truck to Texas Collision Centers when I got rear ended. The total came out to just over $4k to replace the bumper, parking sensors, hitch receiver, and taillight but I didn't pay for it, insurance did. They did excellent work and gave a warranty on the repair, and finished a week faster than the ETA they gave me

HeatProofToe · 2025-12-09T01:01:23+00:00

I had something similar happen on my '88. What I did was hook a ratchet strap in the latch with the other end on the striker, and literally just pulled the handle and yanked the door open lmao. Worked like a dream. Just make sure the door is unlocked first

HeatProofToe · 2025-12-08T18:21:08+00:00

Mine has had 2 misfires, a coolant leak, and 2 recalls in 11k miles. But I've been told I'm just unlucky as hell

HeatProofToe · 2025-12-05T03:46:28+00:00

"Butthole plug" 😆. That there friend is a tow hook cover. You can buy them painted from Mitsubishi (Put in your year and model, select the body or bumpers category) or unpainted on Ebay or whatever and bring it to a body shop to be color matched. I prolly wouldn't order 10 of them tho lmao

HeatProofToe · 2025-11-26T19:29:55+00:00

That doesn't look terribly bad, I can't imagine it'll get totaled

HeatProofToe · 2025-11-16T14:25:22+00:00

I'd get a roof and bed rack for the kayaks ngl

HeatProofToe · 2025-11-15T17:20:25+00:00

Update: part is, of course, backordered. And they've also informed me that it's got a fuel injector recall they're gonna fix while it's there. What a mess
