DJ Buttchug and R3V just got cited on Jalopnik.
When a tractor trailer blew up in his town, Dj Buttchug, of a href="http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=271400">r3vlimited forum fame, wrote it off as another meth lab explosion. But a month later he noticed there was something different about that particular supposed meth lab: Its flames had torched a heavily-modded BMW E30 widebody race car.www.truegearhead.com

DJ has made a friend of at least one Jalopnik commenter:
"quattro_for_life
DJ Buttchug kinda says it all of a BMW driver. But in case we needed more reason to hate him he gave us this gem:
"I managed to make out what seemed to be a POS mercedes and some other glorified VW car in the inferno that day..."
What an ignorant D-bag. The POS Mercedes appears to be a 450SLC which is anything but a POS and if that "glorified VW" is an RS4 avant then it's one of maybe 2-3 in the states and worth more than any E30 could ever be. Dear god I hope it was just an S4."www.truegearhead.com

Quattro for life is obviously an Audi fanatic so don't even pay attention to his whining88 325is Five SpeedLachssilberComment

Sadly, I was the poor soul waiting for the car to be delivered to my house. Never in my wildest dreams did I think something like this would happen. I even paid extra for enclosed shipping to prevent damage (irony). The car was on it's way from SoCal to Michigan when a battery jump pack in the truck shorted and started the fire. It was just in front of my car. Unfortunately, as predicted, insurance has been a nightmare. The trucking company insurance basically refused to pay me anything. My own insurance is trying to process this, but it necessitates declared value and I never actually received the car to go through the process. This car is so well documented, you think it would be easy, but alas no. I was sick for two weeks after this happened in denial. I never even got the see the car. Hopefully it gets sorted, but I expect a mess.Comment

Yeah, many will miss the sarcasm we like to use here on a daily basis and pass judgement but it's alright. I was actually going to make a smug comment as well about the supposed RS4 but this is a very real tragedy for all involved. Sounds to me it was due to the negligence of the transport company and they should have the insurance to cover it."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj
