        Sorry man :(

        This is my worst fear. My 87 325is caught on fire in my garage. Luckily I had an extinguisher nearby so damage was minimal. Actually, the extinguisher did more damage...

                  Any pictures of the aftermath? At least you still have the silver IX.

                  I'm really curious to find out which jumpered relay allowed this to happen....

                    I'm assuming your lax attitude is because you were thinking you still had full coverage?

                    Sucks either way.

                      This is really sad. Especially that it's a 2 door iX in what looks like great condition in a great color.

                      I'm sorry Kershaw. :(

                      Seems like they were taking an awfully long time to turn on the hose in the video.

                        That sucks man, but if the fire is contained to the engine compartment, you could rebuild. Though it won't be cheap!

                        I think I am going to throw my fire extinguisher back in my truck..

                        On the lighter side, it sounds like you found some new "friends" while you were standing there. If there had been a TV crew, I bet dollars to donuts they would be the first interviewed.

                            Such a tease...no water hose action....man this sucks. It does look like it could be salvageable since the interior seems like it is okay

                              Hope you can pinpoint it accurately. If it's DDM's stuff, come down hard on them.

                                I bet the fpr failed and leaked gas into the engine bay
