Don't leave acetylene bottles in your vehicle

First of all, GO HUG YOUR WIFE/HUBBY and tell them you love them.

i had an acetylene bottle in my truck, the valve was bumped so slightly and over night the truck filled with the gas. i noticed the smell, and opened the doors to air out the truck. i drove the truck out of the garage to get some more air movement. i went to roll the pass side window down and as soon as i touched the power windows. BAM. with me in the truck. i lost all hearing out of my right ear and got a scratch on the back of my head. all things considering, im alive.

so now ive got the question out to toyota about a 2012 TT. 125 to canada only, 15 in standard. i want a standard...

pictures tell 1000 words.

dont take any minutes or seconds you have for granted... it may be your last...

peace everyone,"

Holy shit! There is a guy who was racing with one in the trunk of his ta a while back...

I don't see how he didn't get more hurt or killed?

Talk about living right............one lucky MOFO........

Wow, I wasn't expecting to see that much damage.

DUMBASS. If you smell it than open doors, don't start vehicle or even roll POWER WINDOWS down. Would have taken no time at all to clear it.

He got gapped

Wow! even the airbags went off!

If a transport cap was on the bottle, the valve couldn't have been bumped open to start with.

Goodbye to a POS.
