My twin turbo vette went up in flames

Just wanted to update my FI buddies.... You can scroll to the end of the thread link. No one was injured so it was a pretty good day. Thanks

Glad no one was hurt. Sad to see the car go i really enjoyed keeping up with

im pretty sure that if i had bought a expensive *** car like a vette,

put all that work into it and had it for years only for it to one day burst into flames-

i would be crying. Like a little Bi-atch

Wow bro..... So sorry to see, so glad nobody was injured. If you want its spirit to live, feel free to let me know what parts are available, mustang needs some things.

Seriously though, if you need anything man, help finding another car, whatever, drop me a line. Very sorry to see this.

All that Time....

Wow, Sorry to see that happened Tracy. Glad it went up while you were parked and not driving or in the car. Unfortunately I know first hand what your going through. I'm sure all will turn out well for ya in the end.
