Default A day full of UPS!!! AND DOWNS!!!

Well my cards made it to the SB.. I am stoked as ****.. No one thought it would happen... But thats okay..

I took my car out for a spin about two hours after the game. And would'nt you know!!!!

My car went up in flames and burnt the whole engine bay!!! I will post pics up when I get some taken. I can't beleive it.

It wasn't the injector, fixed that problem. The fire started behind the engine, I'm thinking maybe the main fuel line busted or a fitting vibrated loose.. I am not sure yet.. I am not going to touch the car, until after my adjuster comes and looks at it.

It burned for about 5 minutes before I was able to put out the flames..



I'm getting shitty tonight!!!!!!!

Pigs have been flying, so your car being on fire isn't much of a shock. I'm sorry to hear that though I hate Pittsburgh 2451634141414156 times more than i will ever hate the Cards. So don't lose dammit! Do the NFC West some justice... go cards.

Sorry for your loss but,
I am going to consider it a sacrifice to the football gods for the Cardinals.

Holy **** man. What a bummer way to ruin your high. Sorry to hear about all that. I hope the insurance covers you loss enough to recoup and rebuild.

The Cards did it. I said they could beat Philly and they did. Good job. They have a tough team in the Super Bowl though. If they fix the issues they had today it will be a great game. They need to keep the lead once they get it. They tried to give it away today. Good luck to all the Card fans.

I'll be rooting for Kurt Warner...and the rest of the team too. Pitt is really good, but if the Card line can give Kurt time and the Card D can make a couple big stops, then anything is possible. I'll break out my old Warner jersey from SB XXXIV ('99 season) and wear it for the game.

Thanks guys. I still don't have pics up of it.. I will try here in a little bit, once my friend comes over..

So far by just looking at it, it looks like the hood is toast, All the rubber hoses, wiring harness, possibly the computer, injectors, the plastic cowl peice, the rubber seal around the window, the windsheild wipers.

I haven't even jacked it up yet to look underneath, I am sure there is more down there as well. Because the tranny was engulfed in flames as well.

I will be calling my insurance company tomorrow. (State Farm)... They have been wonderfull with me before so hopefully that won't change. If they do total the car out, I hope to god they pay my remaining balance of 7600 on the car. And then I will buy the car back from them, and either part it out, or rebuild it with a salvage title... Who knows....

Sorry to hear about your misfortune Lane. You have had a rough patch lately!! The Cards going to the SB is a small consolation. I hope your insurance Co. takes care of you. On a good note, It sounds as if you came out of it unharmed.
