Default A true.. "fire" bird...PROOF

Well as most of us tried to tell some of the disbelievers who clearly can't tell what's real and isnt when I posted this https://ls1tech.com/forums/multimedia-exchange/944157-true-fire-bird.html ..... I asked this photographer on the board that posted the original pics of the Firebird burning to post any other photos he had.

Well here's to prove those that kept saying it was photoshopped that is wasnt like most of us told you. I will also post the two pics I originally started the initial thread with.

And here's what the photographer had to say:

The local newspaper indicated a possible electrical cause for the fire. The hot spot of the fire was on the passenger side of the engine compartment where the battery is located. Wrecker service carried the 'bird away. Not sure what will be done with it. I have photos of the engine compartment after the fire if anyone wants me to post one or two. The fire never went through the firewall but the water from the fire hose went through the drivers window. Probably a total? We are beginning to see more semi fires--insurance issues verses gas cost too much to stay in business?

Someone did a good job photoshopping those firemen into the picture.












Just kidding, of course.

They aren't saying anything because they now have a clear understanding of WHAT a non-photoshopped picture looks like. I guess they didn't have the skills they thought they had, being that they can't pick out a photoshop from a real picture. Silly noobs.

yeah i've seen a couple cars go up. It's real impressive to see. I saw a Bonneville go up once and it burned all the way to the interior and then it went fast.

Chicken? I was wrong, no big deal. I guess you being right truly makes you a badass since you call us "chicken". It's the internet dipshit, congratulations on being so incredible that you pm people that were wrong to heckle them. I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner, I was out having a life instead of trying to feel cool about myself on the internet

And you were the one personally attacking people in the previous thread and highly doubt you would have come in this thread because you're too busy being a hardass behind your computer screen.

So you want to start another fight and get this one shut down too? I'm not being a hardass, you're the one pming people talking **** because we disagreed in another thread, that was no one but you smart guy, as far as I was concerned we were done and then you decided to start it up again, I'm the one trying to be a hardass? Grow up and learn to look in a mirror kiddo.

There's not reason to get another thread locked to try to be right when the blatant fact is that YOU pmd me after it was already dead to try to start another fight. Who's the obvious e-thug here?
