@@adamthompson4072 EXACTLY. From the time I saw that in the theater, seeing a badass V10 Ram with only liability, I thought "BULLSHIT". Then watching it get swept up in the F5 thinking, there goes 40 grand. But hey we got our tin can pinwheels in the air.
One thing to mention about Reed Timmer; he has a PhD in Meteorology and has collected lots of data that has helped him and other scientists understand more about Tornadoes. So he's a Storm Chaser but also has the credentials and research to not just be a thrill seeker.
Very true. He collected a ton of data from launching the rocket into the 2018 or 2019 Lawrence tornado (forget which year). He lately has been trying subsonic sensors too.
I'm a huge fan of Reed and his ability to land on the right storm is phenomenal. He's definitely a thrill seeker/tornado nut at heart and ended up focusing more on the science aspects bc he wanted to be taken more seriously in the meteorology community. To be fair though, all storm chasers are addicted to the thrill of the chase.
@@geonerd going to have to correct you on that. While a lot of people hate Reed's screaming, the 2010 Yahoo City, MS tornado where his team was there as ended up first responders completely changed Reed to dedicate to science and science data collecting to help improve warning times, and also the data to better improve the inner workings of how tornados form.
I saw Twister in theaters in Enid, OK when I was 10 years old, with my mom. Walking out of the theater, there was a bad bad storm circulating right above. People in the parking lot leaving, were freaking out, peeling out in a hurry. It has been and always will be our favorite movie. I became super fascinated with storm chasing. I was inspired. I have chased about a dozen tornadoes. In the movie, the drive-in movie theater scene, Gary England, legendary meteorologist for News 9, could be overheard in the background insinuating their location was in Fairview, OK. I grew up 20 miles from there, went to prom, worked, had a gf & friends from that town. Interesting fact: Fairview doesn't have a drive-in movie theater. Never has. 😊 Everytime there is a tornado outbreak, I get excited (it's a storm chaser thing, we don't get excited for the death & destruction) and have Ryan Hall turned on. I stopped chasing when it started to get dangerous with all of the amateur storm chasers would cause traffic jams. I wasn't a pro, so I figured I was part of the problem. I really missed my calling. I wanted to go to OU to get my degree to chase, but once I realized that most chasers are stuck with $150k+ degrees and, before RUclips & monetization, very few ways to earn. Oh, and I'm sure people are wondering how Reed, a well known chaser, is able to rent a car. He's on the big rental's blacklist. It's rare for him to need to rent a car, but when he does, he either rents from a smaller company or easily finds someone to take to put on that rental form. And when they're in anything other than the Dominator III, they aren't trying to intercept the nado. When they're in the Dominator, they purposely put that vehicle in the path of violent naders. It's rated for 200mph winds
I like what Reed does honestly. He does do a lot of things. Idk how I feel about the rentals being destroyed, if he can afford it I guess more power to him
@@JohnnyDanger36963 what's that got to do with his PhD in meteorology, years of experience chasing storms, countless intercepted tornadoes, groundbreaking research, etc.?
They actually made a famous movie about a tornado, a lion, a scarecrow, tin man, little girl, and a dog…..April, this isn’t Kansas, anymore…..April would make a good Dorothy.
If we really got into the ethics of whether or not using rental cars for storm chasing is right or wrong I would have no problem what so ever not only defending Mr Timmer but shaming you for even trying to shame not just a man … no no .. A HERO . What happens if power is out and THEN the tornado shows up? Yea Reed Timmer saves the day! How many windshields is a human worth? Huh? Yeaaa that’s just an appetizer of why we need MORE REEDS RENTING CARS! I rest my nonexistent case . Good day, I said gooddaysirzzz
The Dominator was recently damaged by hitting a deer. Two days ago, Timmer more or less destroyed his own personal vehicle, and not for the first time either.
Living in Florida, when Jim Cantore from The Weather Channel shows up, you know it is time to leave. Also if I was storm chasing a tornado, I would want a Paramount Marauder.
I worked for enterprise and we got 1/2 off of rentals and they all knew I was storm chasing in them. We got 1/2 off the rental price but we had to buy the damage waver as part of the 1/2 price deal. So the asst manager of the branch called somebody at corporate to see if they could refuse to rent to me and corporate told him no, unless I was purposely hitting the car with something to break windows or something.
they start yelling cause the closer you get to a tornado the pressure drops your ears pop and you have to yell just for the guy whos less than two feet away from you to hear you
Brinks armored truck comes to mind. Another would be the Presidential Limo - aka "The Beast". Either would keep someone well protected. Truly enjoy the content - thank you - stay safe. ~ Chuck

If you look up the 1990 Andover tornado, you'll see footage of it going across McConnell AFB. The video is looking out from the end of a dormitory. I was standing behind the guy filming. Wild time for sure.
The tornado chasers need to use Cybertrucks to film them. It's already bulletproof, has gorilla glass, is extremely hard to flip, all wheel drive, raises and lowers quickly, and accelerates out of the way fast. Great starting point to make mods on.
A modern storm chasing vehicle? The Cybertruck! My ideal storm chasing vehicle? An M57 powered BMW or a decommissioned PPV like a Charger or an Explorer from Copart. Pick it up cheap (who cares if it's hail damaged or with some dent/scratches, Run&Drives it's the only thing that matters!), add your equipment and go chase those spicy naders.
Reed ruins everything with the screaming. I get that he's excited, but FFS!!! 1978 Cutlass Brougham. Chicago cruiser to the max. A friend of mine had one that we used to cruise around in, in 1978. We called it the weed wagon. I now have a '98 Dodge Dakota. Whoopdy deluxe!
At enterprise, those kids are on super low salaries working 60 hours a week, and their bonuses bring them up to a living wage. The bonuses are based on the health of their fleet. Totaling the car is taking money out of that kid’s pocket, so it’s not a victimless choice.
wow- a reference to destruction derby. i thought i was the only person in the world to have played that game for the original play station lol first episode i've seen of this. is this hoovie's new lady?
The little bit of chasing I’ve done I always had a beater for, I never thought of renting a car and getting the extra insurance. I would consider that a dick move lol…
I had a PT cruiser for three years,i loved it,other than it guzzeled gas,i only got rid of it because i have lost the use of my legs and it was way too low for me to get in and out on my own,i was going to get the hand controls fitted.i thought when you had your house done you would have a storm cellar made.
The next question is: Does Tyler have a storm cellar to survive the onslaught of a tornado. Not only does he live in Tornado-alley, he also has very expensive cars that all sit in a nice barn.... have you seen what an EF2 does to a barn....
It's funny having normal people create videos on behalf of companies making billions of dollars like they are helping them in some way. lol. These people are doing the exact same thing
I mean, the Cybertruck seems like an obvious choice. Any electric vehicle is going to be heavier with a lower center of gravity. The Beast the President gets driven in would probably be the best.
Talk about asking the question I’ve been pondering since Twister came out in 1996! I have two thoughts: 1) clapped out 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency - packs a 455 cubic inch V8 under the hood and it’s an absolute battleship. 2) 1986 Ford LTD Crown Vic PPV restomodded with bullet resistant windows, Kevlar mats in the doors, a front push bar, and maybe the 4.6 modular V8 out of an 06 Mustang. Again, an absolute battleship.
I grew up watching storm chasers and my 2 favorite tornado interceptors are TIV-1 I love the way that one looks with the rotating turret on top where Sean Casey would be at with his imax camera, I think it was the imax camera he used. And the TIV-2, similar design but black with better deploy systems.. not really a fan of the Dominator unless it had a rotating top turret for better view inside the tornado
The obvious answer is a Ford Excursion. Those things are as heavy as a tank and plenty capable especially if you get one that is 4x4. You could also get the 7.3 Powerstroke in it.
Rentacar places,,, In the last 40 years I think I have once got the car that I booked. Got a Holden 40000km with the engine light on that drank fuel for my 900km trip. A car that was due to go to the auctions. Only once did I get the car that I ordered, a Corrolla that only had 500km on it. All cars booked a week ahead at least. In Europe I ordered and paid for the cars 3 months before our trip. Ended up on the Normandy coast in a front drive Hyundia SUV instead of a small hatchback, probably better than what was ordered. On Guernsey a small hatchback was ordered and we got a horrid Sanyong diesel full size car. Even with a 35mph speed limit that was horrid.Then got charged to refill the fuel tank that was given too us just over half full! In England we had ordered a Corrolla and after much argument at the rental desk were given a diesel Kia C'D GT,, with near 25000 miles. Served me ok for 4000+ miles. A better car than I expected. But would never own.I suspect it had low grade Ag diesel in it [available in England] because after the first refill it went a lot better. Signs on the fuel fill cap saying not to. Had good sat nav but the speed limits on a [4 month old car] were out of date and it cost me a fine taken from my credit card after we had returned. Grrrr. Buick?? Maybe Steve Morris's Boosmaster wagon,, should be able to escape tornados with 200mph performance.
If insurance company and renters were smart theyd partner with Reed. They get credit for when he saves lives and gives early warning to people before their city gets hit.
You should have seen the look on the Stuttgart Sixt / Budget agent when we brought back the Explorer with bullet holes through both side mirrors and the hood or the BMW and Mercedes with blown transmissions from evasive driving training. Yeah, our insurance covers that.
Yes Tyler I hade an ML 320 W163 -99 . The best car I ever had, changed brake pads 2 times and changed oil and filter once a year. Had the car from 2005 - 2014. Nothing else broke in all those years. The best car, I loved that car.
Insurance should not cover damage caused by intentional negligence which leads to it. That should be easy enough to check in most cases. That seems like an entirely reasonable insurance provision.
I feel the pain. My freshman at OU was in a tornado watch and hailstorm two nights ago. May 6 2024. And although she parks in the dorm garage she couldn’t because everyone else took the spots. So her extremely low mileage hybrid was hail damaged. Folks intentionally driving into a storm should self insure. Insurance is about spreading risk not looking for it.
I would not go into a tornado, ever. Why put yourself at risk by driving into a twister that can lift you off, flip you around and throw you into a cement mixer? Doing that is just dumb, and no insurance should cover it.
I hope you tornado proofed your big new warehouse garage! Of course most of your cars are scattered so I guess you can't protect them all at once! Stay safe! You must of been talking about last night...the radar is clear here on Tuesday night in Kansas!

Rentacar places,,, In the last 40 years I think I have once got the car that I booked. Got a Holden 40000km with the engine light on that drank fuel for my 900km trip. A car that was due to go to the auctions. Only once did I get the car that I ordered, a Corrolla that only had 500km on it. All cars booked a week ahead at least.
In Europe I ordered and paid for the cars 3 months before our trip. Ended up on the Normandy coast in a front drive Hyundia SUV instead of a small hatchback, probably better than what was ordered.
On Guernsey a small hatchback was ordered and we got a horrid Sanyong diesel full size car. Even with a 35mph speed limit that was horrid.Then got charged to refill the fuel tank that was given too us just over half full!
In England we had ordered a Corrolla and after much argument at the rental desk were given a diesel Kia C'D GT,, with near 25000 miles.
Served me ok for 4000+ miles. A better car than I expected. But would never own.I suspect it had low grade Ag diesel in it [available in England] because after the first refill it went a lot better. Signs on the fuel fill cap saying not to. Had good sat nav but the speed limits on a [4 month old car] were out of date and it cost me a fine taken from my credit card after we had returned. Grrrr.

I feel the pain. My freshman at OU was in a tornado watch and hailstorm two nights ago. May 6 2024. And although she parks in the dorm garage she couldn’t because everyone else took the spots. So her extremely low mileage hybrid was hail damaged. Folks intentionally driving into a storm should self insure. Insurance is about spreading risk not looking for it.
I’ve seen 4 tornadoes. 3 of them on the outskirts of Norman in the early 80’s when I was at OU. Fun times lol
I would not go into a tornado, ever. Why put yourself at risk by driving into a twister that can lift you off, flip you around and throw you into a cement mixer? Doing that is just dumb, and no insurance should cover it.
I hope you tornado proofed your big new warehouse garage! Of course most of your cars are scattered so I guess you can't protect them all at once! Stay safe!
You must of been talking about last night...the radar is clear here on Tuesday night in Kansas!
April, I've lived within 10 minutes of Hoovies compound my entire life. I can attest he is right, haven't seen this level of activity since the 90s.
April is simply fun!!
And I would choose a further modified H1 Hummer.
Best wishes
