GET REAL

 

 

Thats what the police and fireman and fbi and swat and bomb squad were for. they got everyone out. and for your information i did go back in 3 other times to get coworkers carts out before they closed all the roads and access to the lots.

 

does it really matter. it was my decision and my decision alone to make. i weighed the risks in my head and then i went to get my car. you can choose to do what you would do in that situation but that doesnt affect me. i made my decision for me, not for my family or anyone else. selfish maybe but you have no idea about the relationship or lack thereof between me and my family.

 

I would have gone back in to get someones car if I had access to it and it was worth saving say a GT500KR vert or something like that, and would have gone back for people I knew first, in fact during the last fires here in San Diego I had a friend whos house was in danger and they were out of town but their roommate (another friend of mine was there) so I went to help her hose down the roof and all that and then get her out with some of her stuff so she wouldnt lose everything just in case, and then we rounded up some friends and went back for the cars...a Z06, Firehawk, 67 Camero RS, and a 40 Dodge Luxery Liner Sudan, I had called my friend and he said if we had time to get the cars out of there if we could so I rounded up enough drivers including the one taking us in (all volunteers) and went there and drove the cars out and back to my place, fortunately the fire was stopped just down the road and it never reached his house and we werent driving through a blazing fire so dont go there, but it was worth saving the cars especially since I have put some time into them myself.

 

You're the one in need of the reality check. Some people are going to respond to this thread from a common sense perspective, as opposed to you and others that choose not to... and think being 38 and acting like 15 is the same in real life as when you are online.

Stoenr:
I am on topic...you are cluttering the thread with pointless cartoons. Asking the questions I did, makes the whole point against using one's head in this case, quite clear.

94tbird:
Yes, of course I believe you went back in three times...NOT! You are now contradicting your first post, which stated you sat down for 40 minutes.

The two questions were about other Mustangs, not people.

I don't need to know (or care) about your family relationships in this scenerio. It's irrelevant. You didn't really expect everyone here to think what you did was smart, did you?
Here's what you should have thought....odds were, the bomb scare was probably a hoax. Common sense would then dictate, to err on the side of caution.
Yet, at the minimal risk of damage, you chose to react in a manner that may have put many others in danger, by your reckless driving under conditions were others may have been not as alert to your actions. To me, thats foolish and immature....not "weighing the risks" past your own concerns.
Here's another question for you:
What would you have done, if it didn't start...or was blocked in?

rrobello: Your fire scenerio isn't really a valid or direct comparison. You had a better idea of time available to act prudently, thus were probably not acting irresponsibly and putting yourself in such (potentially) imminent danger.

 

yeah i contradicted myself big deal. i didnt expect ppl to tell me im smart. its a story and a true one at that. read for your enjoyment but i didnt ask for your opinion on anything. take your posts elsewhere frenchman!

 

Man you have some darn nerve bro. I'm sorry, but you acting very immature and childish, he posted about HIS MUSTANG and not about him SAVING THE DAY. Which saving his stang was saving the day, but otherwise, grow up and get over it, you're wasting thread space on this board by posting such comments like that. He's not the darn FBI or bomb tech squad so why would he go in there and save someone, that's what they were there for. Anyways what would you have done? Gone Steven Segall and rescued everyone??? Enough said, I'm done on this post. T-bird you did what was right in the circumstances, you worked your hiney off for that car and weren't about to watch it go down in the rubbish many to you. You aren't a darn bomb tech or FBI agent which is what they were there for was to rescue the PEOPLE not AUTOS. Glad to see your okay and your black beauty is !!!

 

THANK YOU!

 

Anytime, just defending what I would've done also and yourself for getting flamed over nonsense bullpoo!

 

What a disapointment. Someone puts their two cents in, you don't like it and, "Move to a different country Frenchman". Amaizing. Isn't this is a forum where you get feedback to what you post. You're not always gonna have people agreeing with your opinion. Accept that.
What I like most about this website is information about the Mustang I can get. Brad seems to have the information before anyone else. That's why this is such a great site. I so dislike the me me me, look at me crowd. If that's not what this original thread was about, then what was it? If the original person posting wrote, Hey, look at what someone at work did today, I could accept that. Instead, we got, look how cool and brave I was today. If you need people to pat you on the back, then so be it. Obviously you have plenty of followers here to do just that.

 

Exactlly Yes It is a car and one may make a determinataion at said time as what to do. If given the blink to save it or a life OR it and a life I'll take it in a heart beat ! But if some dumb as says no that car you waited soo long for is gonna get blasted just for the fun of it well I'd lose it. It's not just a car it's a Mustang with a Heart Beat ! of course life is paramount ! That's why its insured up the ying-yang lol

 

Apparently you have reading comprehension issues, similar to those of 94tbird. For those of you who didn't get it the first time, I clarified preceisly in my second response, that I was referring to "going back in" in order to save other "Mustangs" that may have been in there, not people.
He's the one who said he felt like a hero. I just disagree, as might anyone else reading this thread that has an ounce of common sense.
Unfortunatly, this forum has more than it's share of kids like you, that don't have a clue about what constitutes having a valid point/counterpoint debate online...or the smarts to understand what's posted before you make such pointless responses.

 

look how cool and brave I was today?

didnt say i was cool or brave i said i felt liek a hero in my own mind. that better? u dont have to agree with me. im glad i did what i did and nothing the ppl against my actions can say will change the fact that i did it, and would do it again

 

You are a TOOL .NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. :notnice: :flame2:

 

Wow, such an intelligent response. It is a good thing you came along and informed this guy he was a tool. Without your insightful input, I think this guy would have walked around for the rest of his life thinking otherwise. (sarcasm)

I think the guy is right, it is almost imposible to have a real discusion on this board where someone disagrees with someone elses opinion without some people having to result to name calling and overuse of smileys.

 

I used to like this site. :mellow:

 

I still do. Sometimes after people post their opinion others will disagree. it happens on every forum ive ever been apart of. until we become communist and free speech is taken away from us, people will disagree about EVERYTHING! lol

 

I hear ya, Ron. A healthy dialog is always welcome, and it's possible to disagree without being disagreeable. I'm just getting a little jaded by all of the pontificating!

I'm glad you got your car and that you're okay. Being impulsive, I would have probably done the same thing, but then I would have thought "what was I thinking?"

 

Communist, Free speech taken away. Boy, that's a stretch. Who posted this next quote?

So you just wanted everyone to read your post and listen without an opinion. What happened to your so called 'free speech' line?
