Out here, everything hurts.




Safety glass will usually fall to bits below that, though, as the plastic center and outer glass deform at different rates.

Still, Jesus Christ Dave. I'm glad you're okay.

You're okay, right? Just lacking in the sock department?

How is that even a question? He's left a trail of bread crumbs to find his way home in case he ever gets lost... except he used socks. His supply was already depleted.

If you don't salvage the steering wheel as a memento of this experience, you'll regret it later.

(Regretting it later is dependent on making it out of the frozen cornfield at some point in the future, results may vary, this offer not available in Nebraska.)

It's a love affair. Mainly jebus, and my racecar.

Holy poo poo.

Glad you're ok, Dave.

Ok so, glass has a melting point but it will become soft and viscous way below that point. Also from the photos, you could absolutely have had 1400C in the center of that fire. I've gotten a small gas forge up to just about 1200C for metalworking purposes.

Your sockets are possibly fine. Depending on the steel alloy and heat treatment, they've likely been annealed, which will make them unacceptably soft. Heat them to a uniform cherry red (if possible verify austinitic temperature with a magnet: when the magnet won't stick, they're hot enough. Do not heat to yellow) and then immediately fully immerse in oil. Test hardness with a file.

Having achieved a good hardness you might then want a mild tempering. Put the sockets into an oven (toaster oven will be fine) at 500 degrees and let them heat soak for a while so they come up to that temp - 30 minutes would do it.

Secondarily: I don't suppose that jeep had anything more than basic liability insurance?

I mean like no one is happy to have a vehicle fire in their front yard but it happened and it's done. No one got hurt and not much was lost besides a jeep so why should I get mad? I just feel bad for Dave is all. But at least now he doesn't have to figure out how to get back to nebraska to get his jeep out?

Oh don't worry, there's no one to tow anything away until we do it ourselves.

Nah, everything is going pretty much how I figured it would. I'm a goddamn sa and ai veteran. I was fully aware of what I was committing to and goddammit this is one goon project that's going to loving make it.

Well yeah, now he just has to figure out how to get back to Nebraska for the fastback.
