another one bites the dust (EDIT: now burnt to the ground with pics! :[ )

[alexdoubleu]

seems to be a sketchy shop...

have you ever been there before, to get any work done??

if not you should definitely do some research on their integrity. yelp them and see if theyre doin shady business on a frequent basis.

i bet they wont even let you take pics of the burnt wreck either. ASSUME THE WORST.

on my first civic they did some work on the window for me, but that was 4 years ago, and very minor work, so im not sure about the shop...im gonna let my inner detective do some work and try to get to the bottom of this....im just super bummed and unmotivated at this point. I just got my car back up and running this past satuday in time for g-fest, and it only lasted 3.5 days :[

from the post i take it this was a 318? how early was it, did it have the battery in the front? if so might have pushed the hood to the point that it was touching the bat and with all fluids all under the hood there is your fire. but sorry to see the car the way it is.

Maybe the rapture is happening...just slowly and subtly.

Holy shit. I'm sorry bro, I would be discouraged too.

[bloodshot-e30]

lemme kno if u want another early model ;)

but again man really sorry to see shit like this..

So did you see evidence that it was burnt? I would call the cops and have one look at it with you. Seems like something funny is going on.

lol holy shit some people never cease to amaze me. Are some of you seriously that big of douches, that you actually think he posted his car post-wreckage, for you to tell him to learn how to drive??

Ya pretty much looked at it as an ample opportunity to instill some jive into this young mans life.

Sucks that it happened, just got into a bit of an accident myself. I would definitely investigate the fire and make sure the shop isn't trying to screw you. Gluck, get another and build it bigger and better.

Sorry to see that, I know the feeling though, this happened about 2 weeks ago, so pissed, a teenage girl pulled out directly in front of me.

[spanishflea]

damn, condolences.

did spontaneous combustion cause the fire?

[z31maniac]

Double whammy.

Sorry to hear.

[etxxz]

its... happening

[E30nate]

to everyone who has the stupid "you should pay attention" comments, its totally different when it happens to you. i too know how it feels. i only had my car three weeks before this happened

[spanishflea]

this is becoming a 'post pics of your wrecked e30's page.'

or did I fail to use the search option. that kind of thread oughtta be a sticky.
