Hey AI, I found a beautiful piece of work that one of you needs to come rescue because I am in love with her and currently broke: Be still my beating heart

jonathan posted:Caroline Mines outside of Hope, BC. This is probably the most loving retarded thing I've ever done. We drove into an abondoned mineshaft that spirals up the mountain and comes out near the top. 4 or 5 Jeeps in a train, trying to figure out our way up the maze. When idling the reverb was calling little rocks to fall from the ceiling. I love this picture, and the story behind it. That is seriously nothing short of awesome

 Cell shot, but my friend delivers cars for a living and this is his current delivery: 4wd VW Camper van. Apparently there are only 1500 here, according to the owner. I am in love with it

Our fire department got a new truck. Freightliner M916A3. Detroit S60 turbodiesel, Allison 7 speed automatic, 6x6, PTO, hefty winch, fifth wheel, weighs 27,750 and it's going to be getting a 2000 gallon water tank on the back for an additional 16,000lbs. It's goddamn amazing and I'm bugging them to teach me to drive it because holy poo poo it's the coolest thing ever.

Yeah, the guy who picked it up and brought it home to our station said it felt like riding in a Cadillac. I'm just shocked at how huge the drat thing is. I'm 6'5" and that fender is at shoulder level on me! It's insane and I love it, cannot wait to try cruising in it. So far the biggest thing i've driven is a 27 foot pumper and it handled pretty nicely, I can only imagine how amazing the Freightliner will be.

Yeah, I believe we're going with a nice, bright red. I imagine we're gonna end up lettering it up and numbering it as well to match it with the rest of our trucks. The really funny thing is seeing it parked in our bay, it baaaarely fits under the door. It came about a few inches from scraping the door opener. We were all just sitting there holding our breath and going "Oh poo poo, that's reeeally close."

Wasabi the J posted:That's gonna look so sweet in fire engine red, with numbers and lights. Haha, I'll see about getting some pictures of it and posting them up when all is said and done. We've actually got a few cool trucks, including a new F550 rescue with a remote nozzle, foam tank, etc. kastein posted:Those things are fuckin' awesome but I think you should get an M123A1C if you're looking for brute strength. http://www.vannattabros.com/truck6.html Well, I think we only paid like $300 for the M916. Plus, i'm not sure if we'd be able to fit the M123 anywhere. I still want one now though, holy poo poo that is awesome. We've already had a discussion about what to do when we have to cross a low water bridge that's barely wide enough for a normal car, and the answer was "Just drive through the river!" so I imagine the M123 would be even better for that situation

Yeah, it was through some sort of program. We're a fairly small volunteer department, and the way this works is, we were on a waiting list, they offered us this truck, we accepted it and paid a ridiculously low amount for it (assuming via grants), and they're going to have it sent off to get a tank mounted to it and (i'm guessing) whatever else it needs, then we'll get it back, repaint it, etc. etc. etc. I'm not 100% on all of the details, there's probably a -lot- i'm missing / leaving out, but from what I overheard, we got it incredibly cheap thanks to some program. Like, I remember the words "We basically paid for an oil change." being used at one point.

Just saw these parked downtown:  I never actually knew there was a truck variant of the old school Mini until today. There was also another one across the street, parked behind the local Mini that the British owner of the British restaurant owns. 4 Minis in rural Arkansas is a sight to see, to the point where I wasn't the only one stopping to look

But in the meantime, all Roadkill shows can be seen at YouTube.com/MotorTrend." So yeah, it's getting there.
