    Did I miss it? Where were the images of the sunroof, pool noodles and FlexTape after y’all encountered the gorilla hail. Did the pool noodle get beaten up? Did the tape hold? How was car’s paint? Inquiring minds want to know.

    Dude!! I just told my husband yesterday that I need to go to ACE Hardware to get FlexSeal, "you know," I told him, "the stuff Reed uses on his chase car." But today, I am loving the pool noodles!! I also enjoy the camaraderie among all you crazy chasers!! Also enjoyed your lookie-loos checking out wth you guys were doing!! Fun flick!!

    This is so silly yet awesome, very ingenious! And I am quite impressed with the Flextape, AND the pool noodles for both protecting the sunroof, and enduring the wind of passage, the storm winds and the precipitation. This is an impressive demonstation of clever ideas made reality, using the Flextape, they made a great move sponsoring your work, Reed!

  • @reeblesnarfle4519
    @reeblesnarfle4519 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I would have put flextape down the middle front to back three strips wide to keep noodles from bowing under high speed chases.
    Use the short pieces you cut off to cover baseball hole in middle of window. Might slow your wipers, but woild save your face.
    At least cover the impact area with flextape to keep it from coming in on you.
    Much ❤😎👍 Keep it safe.

    Did Mike Star in Storm chasers back in the day with you guys? I think he's the short dude always wore a ball cap? I always liked that dude hes hilarious🙂. Also great idea with pool noodles those things come in handy for different safety scenarios. I've got little children that love to run around and play tag in the house. So I've got pool noodles around the edges and corners my end tables in my living room to prevent my kids hitting there heads on the tables and getting hurt when there playing.
    Pool noodles are one of the best inventions ever😎👍

    Well, goodness - for the most part- people are so enjoyable - each and every one - being so different one to another. Watching you Reed and listening to you - you are one of a kind. To be honest I've looked for flex tape at Walmart knowing that it would be a good product for the home or in the car when things take a beating or get old but honestly Reed- it's because of you that I would buy the product, no offense for the commercials but we know you have practical usage ideas for in the time of need. But- - - as I read these messages, not that it was a bad idea to have people stay on topic because I've dropped in on some pretty narley live chats and the silliness of some was quite distasteful and I have commented that there might be some storm chasers in the midst and it did seem to straighten them up for awhile but then again another day and another time they would be back to their silliness- you Reed weren't responding and who could blame you. But Reed for the most part the people are quite enjoyable though they may tell their dinner menu or talk about herbal teas. They talk about your menu Reed. But then I see complaints about someone trolling. I just dropped in and didn't catch it and am clueless to who they are talking about. But even when a stinker appears, everybody pretty much is busy watching the weather, listening to you and curious if they are in danger of the storms. People are greatful and thankful, I know I am. The only time I found myself having a difficulty was when we were having weather and I wasn't expecting it because you didn't say so but we're somewhere else. But now I know that one 😳. Storms can happen in places you aren't at. People put alot of stock - trust- faith in you and people ARE so thankful for the work you do. I guess I really didn't understand the pop up message probably due to the fact that I'm usually a pop in in the live chats unless your in our area. Hopefully people will enjoy the work you do and hold it in decent respect (most already do) but I also enjoy people's menus ect.
    Well, have a blessed day
    We had pizza hut stuffed crust tonight- no frozen pizza this time

    He's got good taste picking out the pink ones. Now you need clear pool noodles for the windshield for the next hailstorm. I was thinking possibly those foam insulation boards at Home Depot come in all kinds of thickness but it might be harder to seal down the edges to not catch wind to fly up.
