Sorry for your loss. Looks like she was a beautiful ride, before the fire.
|
Glad no one was hurt! Sorry this had to happen - hope your insurance company treats you decently.
|
Sorry to see this happen to you.
|
damn :(
|
What happened?
Sorry to hear about this loss |
Man, I'm really sorry that happened. Will you fix or replace the Vette?
|
terrible thing to happen, any idea what started the fire?
|
looks to be an electrical fire, its to far gone under the hood to rebuild. dont know what i am going to do at this point.
|
Dang that sucks! Hope the insurance pays off. There's plenty of Vettes on the market.
|
what made it worse is the wires burned together causing the fuel pump to come on and spraying fuel kept the fire going.
|
Sorry :sadangel:
|
That just really sucks. Hope you come through this all right:cheers:
|
I'm sorry.
What can be done to prevent this kind of thing from happening? Is it mostly relegated to the L98 cars or is it a problem with the LTx cars as well? |
Wow, that really sucks. But as I've learned over the years, cars are like women - replaceable. You'll find another one. :thumbs:
|
That's terrible!! I hope your insurance company takes good care of you. Car looked beautiful...get the insurance check and try your best to find a replacement for her.

sux x10 good excuse to get a zr1

Sorry for your loss :sadangel:
Had my oil pressure sender burst spraying oil onto exhaust :ack: Lucky i had two extinguishers in my vette and popped the hood before the release cables melted, extinguished it quickly just needed some paint repair to hood new oil pressure sender and wiring repairs. I now have extra wires from the latch to the wiper area, looks like you may have had the dreaded fuel pressure regulator diaphragm failure:willy: You know what they say get back on the horse, hope you replace her quickly :thumbs: I agree with SHAMDAVE good time to look for a ZR1 :cheers: |
