I was waiting to see if that was somebody on here... anybody?

zero2sixtyZ · 04-10-2014, 02:11 PM

No sympathy. If I've ever been near a hydrant, I was in the driver's seat and ready to move. It's not a place to leave a car.

Now, because of this, all E92s are instantly douches in the area. Thanks.

I'm getting tired of this BS, as if it was any other car I'm pretty sure nobody would care. But hey if it is a BMW or Merc all the trolls come out yelling (just check yahoo comments and so on). I'm also not sure if it is the best way to get access to a hydrant, as you can go over the roof or maybe under car, but hey breaking windows and maybe even filling the interior will make most damage! No matter what you drive, if people perceive it as a "luxury" car they will hate no matter what.

+1 my uncle is a firefighter in Boston they do it to cars all the time, they cannot have a kink in the hose and going up and over a car will do that, but if think it's mostly to teach a lesson

Heard a guy call in to the radio today that was there and said the guys whos car it was eventually came out but all he was doing was taking pictures of it.
It was already boxed in by trucks haha.

I can't feel bad no matter what kind of car it is. Handicapped spots and fire hydrants are just not acceptable places to leave your car no matter what.

WingZeroX5 · 04-10-2014, 06:09 PM

he got what deserved.

I was watching some documentary and i remember clearly that firefighters WILL bust through your window to get to the hydrant

SLOWER · 04-10-2014, 06:21 PM

Didn't they do that in the movie Backdraft?

A wise man once said "a firefighter has two tools, a hose and an axe. When you call them you're going to get one."

Looks like this idiot got both. Deservingly so...
