Have you actually reviewed this fire extinguisher ? I've seen some videos and this fire extinguisher wasn't even able to put out a basic camp fire. I think you should reconsider the sponsors of your videos / channel.

[@PaulThompsonGB]

[@dedalliance1]

I mean, is crashing a car a fireable offense? If you crash your car going to work should you get fired? I understand it's not his car right, and it's an expensive car, but he's an FBI agent not a car transporter he just needs to stick to doing FBI agent stuff instead of trying to get into the car transport business, he shouldn't lose his job. However, the FBI should pay for the car instead of the insurance.

[@IndependenceCityMotoring]

@@dedalliance1 It was a joyride. They were supposed to tow it. So yeah, I would say taking an expensive car on an unauthorized joyride and crashing it is a fireable offense.

[@dedalliance1]

@IndependenceCityMotoring I mean I guess so. But just because he sucks at driving super cars doesn't mean he's not a good fbi agent which is kinda my point. Let's be honest if we had the opportunity to even drive an F50 around a parking lot even if it was slightly illegal we'd probably do it right? He just needs to not be allowed to drive cars they take in for evidence. I still don't necessarily think he should be fired.

[@sambone8213]

In high school I had gone on a family vacation to a resort/campground that was on an Indian reservation. Some family friends also went with us. Our friends had just bought a couple of brand new jet skis. This was their first and only time they got to enjoy them. While we are getting ready to pull them off the trailer. Someone had came in to pull his boat out of the water and ended up hitting one of them. Some words had gotten exchanged and the guy eventually pulled his boat and left. The next thing we know. Tribal police showed up saving that "Someone had reported that we had been going to fast in the no wake zone." They ended up confiscating the jet skis. They had to fight the tribal police for 3 years to get them back. And when they finally got them back. One of them had a blown engine and the other one looked like it had fallen off the trailer at high speed. They tried taking them to court but ended up losing.

I saw this car when it was at Algar the week before it was stolen. A friend had his Mondial in for service and the F50 was in the garage showroom part of the dealership with the huge roof case behind it. Years later I'm in San Diego at Symbolic Motors (now Ogara) and what do I see? The Algar F50 for sale. I have a picture of myself next to it. One of the most amazing cars ever made and this particular one, with the insane story behind it, make it that much more special.
