Hopefully that guy's insurance covered it. If it was claimed as a loss, it might be a good thing but it might not cover the cost of the aftermarket parts that he has.

 

Poor guy. Looked like a nice clean GTI. Sucks to be him.

 

what are those guys were thinking?

they dont even know how to use the extinguisher!!!!


ohh man, i never thought that someone who has a GTI was that kind of man...

 

The problem with rebuilding a car that burned... the fire tends to warp and change the composition of the steel of the car. Making the car more easily dented, creased, and damaged later on even if you rebuild it perfectly.

And I agree 100% with Random, my first thought when I saw them leave the doors open was "why didn't they close them?" I think that if they had, the most they would have needed would be a new windsheild, dash, and wiring. Oh well, sucks to be them.

 

I found it odd that the guy was more interested in filming the fire then doing anything about it.

 

The fire extingusher they used looked like a home model that was old/lacking pressure. Nothing really seemed to come out of it. It may have been a Halon unit, but it didn't look like it.

Make sure whatever extingusher you keep in your car, that it is rated for Gasoline/oil AND Electrical.

 

Wow... makes me wanna cry!!!

 

WOW that sucks, it had to hurt to watch all ur hardwork time and effort go up liktr that.. it least it went up in a BLAZE of glory. I feel really bad for that guy...makes me wanna put a fire extingusher in my car! expecially since i just rewired the whole thing!

 

Fire extinguisher was one of the first mods I made.. and yes, it is rated for electrical and fuel.

 

i would cry
