[Jafxod]

I almost just teared up. What happened man? Im guessing your alright?

[Huff]

Story? Well, the fire started on the side where the fuel lines come into the engine bay..

Sorry man, that looks terrible.

[nwe30]

ahhh shit. you have my condolences.

if that's a 4 door...and the front drivers door is available, id like it :)

[Active16Bits]

Yeah I'm fine. Just two small burns. Here's the story:

Hopped on the freeway and noticed some smoke, the upper radiator hose has had a small leak so I thought it was overheating. There's heavy construction for a mile and there were cement barriers blocking the shoulders, so I had to coast to an exit. before I could stop the engine cut off and I popped the hood and the flames covered my face when I opened the hood. Ran to the back and unplugged the battery, grabbed my laptop bag and backed away and called the fire department. Its on the same side the fuel lines run, so I'm guessing it's that.

What's worse it I only have liability insurance. So I'm getting nothing and losing everything. It'll be a good while until I can afford another one.

Damn man that is a shame... I'm sorry to see this. Hang in there and get another one soon!

[tabasco]

Ouch! That sucks. Glad you are ok!

[Active16Bits]

It is. Come try and get the door, they wouldn't even let me take the roof rack in the yard it's at.

[freeride53]

So sorry man, really am.
You can for sure part it though, and grab a cheap e30.

[Active16Bits]

Thanks guys. I am glad I made it out okay. I wish I could part it but I have no place to put it. I just moved into an apartment complex and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be happy with a crispy car in their lot.

[freeride53]

You can make it happen. Determination.
I'm 100% sure there are parts on your car that people want to buy.
Take it apart, put parts in your closet?
