Default Rip ... 99 T/a

Well my car went up in flames this weekend the fire dept is saying the cause is unknown and leaving it there for my insurance. They are saying they will cover it so thats at least a good thing. I was just driving got about 1/2 a mile from my house and it started smoing so i got out and there were flames

That's why I carry a huge fire extinguisher in my trunk.

Sorry to see that. RIP... and good luck with the insurance. Don't accept their 1st lowball offer! They're just like a car dealership trying to lowball your trade-in.

i installed it myself ... but i have done many and i have had it installed for at least 2 years. I had just filled my bottle that day and had not even sprayed on it. Yeah the bottle ruptured but just the rupture disk. I am looking maybe at getting an 05 gto they have a great deal on a blue 6 speed up here. 7500 miles for 25000 out the door

I personally would let mine burn to the ground. i wouldnt want to get it back. there would be some dissapointment for sure, but something like that is irreversable. good luck with your possible gto purchase... but look around for a bird first.

I showed up right as the fire department did. It was crazy!! The flames were 10-20 feet in the air. It was like we were in a movie. Good luck with the insurance.
