I've been accused by my employees of overcompensating too. Not that I care.

At least mine is all purpose built and functional. :)

Is it wrong that I am now suffering "Truck Envy"?

Hey be nice! Your tax dollars payed for that truck :ph34r:

All joking aside, that is a nice truck, but red is a better color :)
Not around here. Too much dust and dirt, so it would be way to difficult to keep looking nice.

I am possibly taking some psychology classes next semester and will be looking for a term paper topic, so could you tell me: What are we overcompensating for? :rofl:

Nope, not overcompensating in any way.

This is what I have to drive on every day, and it is one of our easier to access towers.

This is what I do every day (I'm the one part way up the tower). For a scale representation, it is a 100 foot tower.

Good I have a question for you, what is the airplane light spacing requirement for radio towers. I thought it was 50 but it seems to be 100

No clue. I always call the FAA for that type of info.

I have a small star of life on my back window. It may or may not be to help with getting pulled over. And it also allows me to park at college for free sometimes.

I also have a single small star of life sicker on the back window.

For some reason that I can't explain, multiple stickers + FF license plate + helmet prominently displayed with turn outs makes me angry

In terms of helmet plus turnouts, isn't there the issue of off gassing and UV light degrading the protective material?

Yep. Not to mention the fact that turnouts are rarely, if ever, washed correctly.

That's not overcompensating, that's a beautiful truck.

She'd look better in grey though ;)

I almost bought a Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited years ago. The only ones close to me were in too rough condition so I never got one.

I wish mine wasnt red....but at the time it was the right miles,options, condition etc so I deal with the color.

I wouldn't mind a white truck. If you get a scratch you just need some white out.

Interview went great!
Turns out the EMS chief asked around with a few of my preceptors (some of whom started in this particular station)
Turns out I was a great Ride Along. Apparently I impressed some of them to the point where they highly recommended me.

I have my physical/drug test scheduled for next Monday.

:D
