[Robotin]

in one of the pictures.... the tire is ripped to pieces.. and the fire wouldnt do that.... it would just melt it... so i think that tire blew... not really sure how it blew tho...

[Robert]

Will insurance cover this?

[SkiFree]

Guesses on cause

1)Fuel line blow out in the back from the look of it.

2)Extreme weight reduction attempt?

Glad you and the lady are ok, bet that adrenaline kicked it hard.

[Sparkle']

Holy crap. So glad you and your girlfriend are okay!!

[rares]

i'm pretty sure the tank punctured because there was a good 50' of gas on the road. the new vette fuel pump may have put added pressure on old soft lines, but that seems unlikely...

no weight reduction here on this one, it just seems like it because everything not metal is gone...

spun and hit the curb/wall barrier.

i'm glad they were both fine, i could see the smoke from several offramps away.

Sorry, my attempt at internet humor didn't 'catch'.

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

[mkcman17]

yeah i didn't follow. i just don't think it's really funny to be honest.

[jamesthebikeguy]

Wow thats scary glad you are ok and didnt get hurt.

All bulshit aside that dashboard looks awesome. If i was making a track car that would be the way yo go. Powder coat it wrinkle or go army camo or something. To bad you don't have pics of the car before they towed it. Now it will be your word against theirs as to whether or not the oil pan was cracked prior to them moving it.

[TexasTerp]

Glad to hear you're ok! That's some seriously scary stuff, worst I've seen in a long time.

The oil pan is totally irrelevant at this point, who cares if he busted it or the towing company? There's nothing salvageable from that car at this point.

so last night....i was taking the 90E 405N interchange, i was going around 50 MPH. in the middle of the turn my back end kicks out just a little bit... i drop the car in nuetral let off the accelerator and hold the wheel waiting for the car to grab the road. next thing i know. im spinning so fast i cant even see colors. sparks fly in the air. car stops. i immediately look out my gfs passenger window adn the window in covered in fire and its getting bigger by the second. i literally grab my seatbelt. pull with all the strength i could. and rip the seatbelt out of the buckle. and my gfs seat belt. jump out of the drivers door. grab my gf by arms and pull her out of the car. we run about 30 yards against traffic on the freeway onramp. see about 20 cars backed up. turned out to look at the car. and it was completely engulfed in flames. after all the LAPD and LAFD and done taking my statement. and give me a sobriety test. i go home and try and shake myself off from what had just happened. this morning i go to the towyard to pay what i owe and check out the car. and this is what i find; and they charged me $250 dollars. wtf!:

Sorry to hear about this man, I am glad you and your girl are ok. I bet that when the oil pan got damaged, the oil hit the tires and caused the initial slide.

Holy fucking shit!
Burnt bottlecaps and the month sticker melted off.

glad you're okay mayne
