my e30 is hot!!! the SETA is no more....

[phobea]

Glad you're both okay.

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.

But either you Americans have some weird ass seltbelt design that I've never heard of, or yours were completely broken. The whole point of their design is to stop them being able to be pulled out, no human alive is stronger than the force of a 90mph > stationary object smash, which seatbelts are designed to absorb.

cool. maybe by ripped he meant "unbuckled in a quick manner." what does it matter?

[sagenev63]

glad that you and your girl are ok.

[pilotskillse30]

glad you guys made it unscathed!

[eL_MeXiCaNo]

DANG! this is the 2nd e30 i've ever heard of spontaneously combusting.

Glad everyone made it out. Any idea on what exactly started the fire?

[MR 325]

Pretty sad that bald tires were the cause. Tires are important people! Sad to see it R3V'd after the work put in to it!

[yobless]

Damn 'Vette fuel pump ftl

Glad to hear you and your g/f are ok.

i was making the story better. i figured that saying "i unbuckled my seatbelt, then unbuckled my gfs" wasnt as cool.

[bloodshot-e30]

damn man im sorry to see this :(

well i kno what im buying with my next check.... TIRES!

[HippyEarly]

Must say, way to MAN UP and get your girl out. Good job on that one.

As well, those are some crazy pictures. When i first bought my car ten years ago me and my GF at the time were going to a movie and i lost about 1/2 tank of fuel waiting at a red light to turn into the movie theater. Turned out to be a spit fuel line right over the exhaust manifold. It would have looked like your pics. Im glad mine dosen't. Deeply sorry yours does.

These are the great stories we will get to tell when we are old men. Glad you made it though and i hope your next E30 is everything you wanted this one to be.

Do you have a before pic by chance?

[orcgrinder]

That is seriously insane! So happy you and your girl are safe man. Here's to you finding another project ASAP!!

[Teaguer]

Nice r3v! :firehop:

Glad you and your chick are fine.
With the state of the car why even pay $5 to get it back though?

[ethrtyiS]

^chop top, slammed to make a rusty slammington v2, seta e30 version.

[Need4Speed1299]

That sucks man. The dashboard looks awesome.

Edit- ha.
