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.
