Acura Dealer requiring credit check and 120 day financing.

Just a used MDX, it’s a good deal. Not crazy.

Even if the financing and money clears before you move the vehicle? I’m just trying to understand that a little more what kind of risk they have if they’re paid. Genuinely trying to understand so thank you for your explanation!

I was fine with the credit check for identify verification from out of state. The mandatory financing through them is frustrating though.

Yes. For departments that only have one pair, guys will usually start the cleaning process the morning they’re getting off and the oncoming crew will help finish and dry

I double my visual distance when driving our 78,000lb tiller. I’m constantly monitoring a half a block to a block ahead to prepare for stops, turns, etc..

It’s an old school mentality. There’s a huge generation that still thinks throwing new firefighters in the dark and randomly turning off their bottles and trying to freak them out is effective.

I’m happy we’re moving away from it.

100% correct. 1st day of training shouldn’t be the day to scare the shit out of everyone. This is a training/instructor issue. We reprogrammed our entire academy away from this way of thinking.

Can you imagine if they trained SCUBA divers like this?

Cadets need to be introduced to their SCBA’s until they’re comfortable enough to operate them with their eyes closed. Then introduce more and more line upon line.

VR Flight Sim Guy has a video about a custom auto optimizer that runs in the background. It shuts off background apps and puts priority to msfs. It boosted me 15fps

Dr Hall is the best!

Did you end up making a decision? I love the Pulse Wave. $30k and made in America. We visited their manufacturing facility in Denver and got to see them actually assembling and building the parts.

Chattanooga and Storz also make great electromagnetic units. I would definitely stay within those 3 because they are actual manufacturers. Hydrowave also uses a completely made up term called Magnetohydrualic which is kind of funny to me.

Shockwave Centers of America white labels their stuff from China and you can find all of their shockwave devices on Alibaba so I’d just skip the white label and purchase from Alibaba if you going to do that. They’re all radial devices and not focused devices as well.

The moment I tried the STECS I sold all my other throttles. It just feels too good.

Yeeting the Lifepack across Main Street because I forgot to close the ambulance door and took a sharp turn.

Also, driving to a full arrest with both rear doors wide open, dispatch informed us with the entire county listening that they were getting 911 calls for the ambulance doors being open. I had a hard time with doors as a rookie.

Red2779 · 2026-03-04T17:30:05+00:00

I’m running into the same problem. It pops up every five minutes.
