I know Aldeer hates California and hates social media but this is an awesome story.
Dude makes multiple trips saving patients from a hospital in Paradise, in the process cooks his Tundra, Toyota is hooking him up with a new Tundra.
BJ Baldwin who is a Toyota sponsored Baja racer is going to be tricking the truck out.

That's awesome and way to go Toyota.

I read that earlier good job on Toyota

I'd keep that thing looking exactly the way it does right now. Maybe just fix whatever it needs mechanically but keep it looking the same

BJ Baldwin is a fine American and one hell of man to help all those folks out. God Bless him and the fine folks in California that have loss so much from this fire. Praying for all.

God bless him, no matter what brand he drives and I'm exclusive to Toyota.

I thought Toyota's were fire proof?

Toyoties are very reliable!

I wish Toyota would make a 3/4 ton

I'm really shocked they haven't broken into that market.
Toyota fans myself included are extremely loyal. If my Avalon got totaled tomorrow it would be replaced with another Avalon.

They are but the paint ain’t!

I have a feeling Toyota will have that truck on display beside the million mile truck.

It's going to be sad when he gets a 1099-misc at year's end, and owes the IRS $15k for that "free" truck.

Casinos, sweepstakes, lotteries, etc all then to do that, but companies who are truly charitable often give you enough money to cover the taxes too.

I’d bet there’s a Toyota somewhere in the Middle East that took a 30mm round to the bed, and some pissed off hadji that missed out on the durability contest.

We think alike!

This male nurse, who named his truck panda bear, and needs Peter Gabriel to calm his nerves sounds like a pecker puffer to me.
I'd say the real hero is the "still unidentified badass" on the dozer who cleared the roadway for Peter puffer to get in and out of town again.

Of course you would find something negative to say.

My secretary is from Paradise CA. Her parents still live there. This story has had a great impact on the community.

I wasn't negative at all, I think the dozer operator did a hell of a job, deserves some recognition for his efforts.

Not to mention I bet it wasn’t an enclosed cab either. Phucker prolly looks like Charles Woods with third degree burns while peter puffer was riding with AC

Charles Woods! I bet less than 5% on here know who that was.

straight up bad a$$

Somebody do everyone else a favor n post his pic. Make sure the t-Rex looking hands are in the photo.

That money is taxable too.

True dat

Is GoFundMe money taxable?

I'm sure it is, but if you're asking for donations on GoFundMe, you probably won't be worth their time to send a CPA to audit you.

I'm sure they'll "buy" the burnt one from him. Anyways, who cares. I'd pay $15k for a brand new $50k dollar truck.

We getting off subject with all the legal mumbo jumbo.


Where’s the Charles woods picture?

This American hero looks like this because he served his country so some stupidfucks had the freedom to make fun of the way he looks due to 3rd degree burns on his face and hands.

Charles was the man. He ran for Gov when I was a kid and I made fun of the way he looked and I can remember 45 years later the whooping my dad gave me as he explained who Charles was and why he was more than deserving of my respect and gratitude. Man was a hero who made something of himself and provided jobs and futures for a lot of families in this state.

Mine did too. I was about eight years old and saw he on TV and made fun of him. I felt like chit and never forget that ass whooping and the lesson I learned that night.

I have a very close friend who is burned over 85% of his body. He was wearing overall shorts, shoes and a hat and was 3 when he was burned. I believe he knocked a can of gas over in a garage and it lit due to a pilot light on a gas water heater. The only thing not burned is where the overall shorts were and his feet. The hat saved 90% of his hair but both ears were burned pretty bad. The fire was so hot it burned his pinkies off.

We met and became friends in 1994. I love the guy like my brother and his wife was responsible for setting me up on a blind date with a fantastic girl whom I have been married to going on 16 years now. I can't begin to count the number of fights we have been in together over the years due to some jack wagon making fun of him. He carried a chip on his shoulder for years (don't blame him one bit).

He is the true meaning of perseverance. He was the guy that built and opened Rogue Tavern in downtown Birmingham. https://frontporchrossbridge.com/ He sold it and started the Front Porch at Ross Bridge. Its a fantastic restaurant if you are ever in that area. in addition he owns a concrete company and pours 90+% of the foundations and sidewalks in Ross Bridge.

I have a TON of respect for my buddy and I NEVER see the burns when I look at him. Neither do any of my kids, although when they were younger we would have fun getting them to count their fingers then his
