Goodbye Corvette

[Terminator-Fux]

Saw this on another forum. C6 with a 91mm Turbo that made close to 1,100hp burned to the ground. And this is the reason why I'm getting a couple fire extinguishers for my Cobra. Very sad.

gots a fire extinguisher in my t/a..too much shit has been modified,
redone, moved around to not have one!

I used to work for a fire equipment company. They could install a whole system for about $350.00 back in the day. I always thought if marketed right could have been a big seller.

And a fuel cutoff switch.

 

[Pewter-Camaro]

My car is barley modded and I keep one in there. Better safe than sorry.

This reminds me of a story.

About 10+ years back (it is hard to remember now that I am old) my buddy was driving his beater Civic and noticed smoke. Popped the hood and noticed it was on fire. He didn't have a cell phone so he runs across the street to Jewel and waits in line to buy two gallons of water. Then he runs back to try and put it out....

I think the car ended up burning to the ground. To this day he cannot explain why he didn't ask them to call 911.

RIP corvette.
Glad no one got hurt

Insurance > Fire extinguisher. You guys really want to save your car once there's fire damage? I know if the R8 starts on fire for some reason, I'm getting some marshmallows to roast.

 

[Red Alert]

I don't think an insurance company will pay you out on all your mods though.. I'd rather try to save most of it, tow it to a garage, and demod whatever's salvageable, then claim the insurance.

Edit: and if it were my R8 I'd just be like let me die in it. Lol

 

[Terminator-Fux]

I think you can get declared value insurance. I know once my shitheap is back on the road and if it gets wrecked or burns to the ground I'm not losing my ass on it.

I have a fire extinguisher in both my cars since they're both known to catch fire. More so now with the Fiero since I swapped a 3800 in there. I plan to get custom plates that say "Fireo"

 

[PANDA]

I'm sorry but if my car starts on fire im not going to sit around and try and put out a car fire with small fire extinguisher. Im going to book it and call the fire department. I wouldn't fuck around with something with gallons of fuel on-board that could blow up in your face any second. (I know the real world isn't like Fast and Furious, but I am not going to risk it) Even if I could save it, I wouldn't want a car with fire damage, that's what insurance is for. If you have so much money into a car that you would be concerned about a payout from a total loss you need agreed value insurance period.

You have a lot of time before a car will explode (usually not at all). This makes me want to carry an extinguisher in my car now, something that started off small and could have easily been controlled with little to no damage, turned into a totalled car.
