RIP...

98 miles on the build. it was good while it lasted.

that sucks. sorry

98 miles? so what happened? cars don't spontaneously combust.

Wow....that sucks.

sorry to see these man. be thankful you are alright.

oh dam. glad you're ok though.




i know its soon but if you are looking to sell the remains, pm me.

that sucks after all that work and money you put into building the car your lucky to be alive

Ouch that hurts to look at. I once had a fire in my camaro when my turbo oil line popped off and sprayed the engine with oil. Fortunately I had a small extinguisher in the glove box which put out the flames.

Thanks guys. I'm glad that I walked away unscathed. And yes , after I am done with all the insurance nonsense I will try to get the car back and will be selling what's left. Motor and trans should be unharmed.

What a bummer. Sorry man

That's tough to look at knowing all the work you put into it. I hope you didn't lose anything that can't be replaced.

I'm genuinely upset to see this. From your last post, it sounds like you had full coverage though?

Yikes, man. Thankfully you aren't hurt though, that remains to be the only saving grace.

Where did the fire start?

Damn man thats terrible. Glad to see your ok though

Glad that you are safe! You can always build another car, but we can't build another you!

he's alive, but that is not how the fire gets put into firebird trans am

Damn dude that really sucks. I bet you wont drive another car without a little fire extinguiser now. I keep one in my car and this is a reminder of why I do...

i had plans to bolt a little fire extinguisher to the roll cage when i got one...never got around to doing it... and that day i just got my new poly torque arm bushing and ordered my cat back 2 hours before..i pass by the spot on my way to and from work and see the burnt remnants and speedy dry on the street where it happened.. i still really cant believe that it happened..idk what to do or how to handle it. it really does suck. im very thankful to be unharmed and very very very thankful that my girlfriend wasnt still in the car when it happened...thank you guys for everything and all the help..this is a great forum and maybe one day ill be able to get another f body.

but yes i did have full coverage..theyre taking the car tuesday to do an investigation for the insurance..they said if its anything mechanical then its not covered.. i hope it all works out ok. im pretty sure i have an idea of what caused it to happen..

Where was this? Someplace local to us, I take it?

Sorry to hear dude...

Couldnt imagine watching my car burn. Sorry to see thatt, glad you're ok

Sorry to hear about this. Hopefully everything works out with insurance.

What causes fires that isn't mechanical besides an accident? They told you that? You should probably read your policy asap.

Vandelism maybe, mechanical...why have the policy?

damn man that sucks
