    Maybe they should drive wranglers? I know a few firefighters, they're crazy anal about keeping their stuff looking mint.

    I do cringe a bit while watching the fire department cause unnecessary damage to cars. Instead of pulling the hood release cable they just took a crowbar to the hood. destroying the upper tie bar, bumper cover, hood, intake manifold, radiator. Then cut both battery cables
    u save the cvt?

    It's probably ok. We'll likely end up with this one as a parts car. The last one that was rolled had hardly anything left and the insurance company wanted more for it than any of the other ones we bought back in the past. I grabbed the tires off it and installed bent wheels and bald tire, swapped out the drivers seat and battery and told them to come and get it.

    That's very unfortunate. Thank God you're safe.

    It wasn't me, I just keep my works fleet going. I'm sure those airbags sting pretty pretty good, everyone that's been in accidents in these that I've talked to say their legs hurt the most.
    Last accident victim got t-boned in the drivers door, then rolled completely at least once over a fire hydrant ending up with the drivers door face down on the road. Driver was fine, returned to work the next morning like nothing happened. Some stupid blew through a stop sign in his dodge journey.

    I mean the mirage is small but is it really small enough to lose? I mean is the snow that deep or the grass that long that the car is lost? Lol
