Members Mogwix Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 ... parked my car, and went inside to enjoy 12 damn good inches. 15 minutes later, there's quite a fevered rapping at my door. I come outside to see this: After the fire department puts out the fire and checks out the house, it looks like this: I hope y'all are having a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mogwix Posted November 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 There have been 21 complaints and 16 engine fires since the models were introduced. The fires seem to start about 15 minutes after the car has been parked and turned off. Up to 72,000 vehicles could be affected. If your car becomes another statistic in this GTP flamb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rezrover Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 That happened to my Grand Prix GT but I got it put out so the damage wasn't... terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mogwix Posted November 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 People keep asking me why I was taking pictures instead of putting out the fire. What the hell was I supposed to do, pour a bucket of water on it? My friend had already called the fire dept before he knocked on the door, we just got everyone out of the house and stood back. Rule #1 in emergency and first aid training, especially if something is visibly burning, is to stay the {censored} away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Coaster Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 this is why we have firewalls in our garages made from drywall. i guess cars really do start on fire when you come home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jorge7 Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Did you check if you have 3 D112s now?Seriously, that is really scary, count yourself lucky that it wasn't worse and that no one got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twostone Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Bummer dude be glad it didn't burn to the ground like my house did back in 95 I lost every thing but just thankful I wasn't there when it went up. have fun dealing with the insurance company that will try to give you pennies on the dollar. Better get some high bids because they will do their best to pay as little as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mogwix Posted November 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Did you check if you have 3 D112s now? Who knows, maybe the insurance company will buy me another one, since there was actually one in the trunk when it went up... but the fire never made it that far.

Members W. M. Hellinger Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 since there was actually one in the trunk when it went up... What? Did you leave your trunk unlocked (obviously open) while parked in a bad part of town? Or were you just putting off making a trip to the dump?

Members Dookietwo Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Did you hit something before the fire? Hood looks all bent up. All my years in the part time fire dept. I've never seen heat bend a hood like that. Edit: Unless thats fiberglass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shaster Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 That's scary, glad you and yours are okay. Twenty years ago I had a stalled car start on fire in the middle of Sunset Strip in North Hollywood (long story). Amazingly some guy rushed out of nowhere with a fire extinguisher. Managed to get the fire out before it got out of hand. My garage is "in" the house so I think I'll be checking drywall/firewall protection there.
