Gonna be on WGN TV in Chicago...

    I'm taking my truck to Chicago for an emergency vehicle show and the owner of the show is going to have a few of us bring our trucks to the studio Friday morning to 'show off' and be interviewed. The producer wants to know what kind of cool things I could with the truck for the interview. I'm not really sure what constitutes "cool". So I'm asking for suggestions. The truck carries 150 gallons of water, it has an onboard air system and some rescue tools. I'm thinking that maybe putting out a fire in a dumptster or using the air system with an air bag to lift up a large "overturned" something or other.

    Anyway, no idea is too crazy, well maybe almost any idea, so let me know what you thing would be cool to see on tv. I'll try to put in a plug for DP as well.

    Well it's going to be hot here on Friday so maybe you could soak a bunch of kids or old people or something. That would be "cool"!

    Could you use air tank to blow up an Alex's inflatable Hulk, jk, possibly balloons, and inflate-a-bed. Fill a back yard inflatable pool quicker than using garden hose ...

    Have fun and tell us how it goes.

    She's been a fovorite of mine since I was a little kid. I always wanted to BANG Jackie!

    What kind of pressure does the truck shoot the water out at? (or what PSI is the pump rated at?)

    It'll pump up to 150 psi. I normally don't go above 100.

    If I meet her, I'll pass on your wish :p

    The HULK is always up for fun (heck, he jumped off the roof of my house) ... so if you are ever showing off your truck in the Denver, Colorado area, drop me a note! ;-)

    Well the best idea was zooming into the lot with the lights and sirens wailing, come to a screeching halt, get out the hoseline and spray down a bunch of hot babes in t-shirts... I haven't heard back from the producer yet... ;)

    reminds me of the movie UHF. Wasn't that the prize for finding the marble in the outmeal?

    Although I think Weird Al is a comedic genius, I've never actually seen UHF.

    Ask Shawn for some XS white DP tank tops! ;)

    It's been so long since I've seen UHF, I'm gonna have to rent that just for kicks.

    CR, you know any hot babes that would want to come over and get hosed down Friday? ;)
