Omar, breaks my heart... No one feels the pain quite like the one who experiences it first hand. Glad to see that you're looking for a replacement, helps with the healing some. As an Arctic white owner I can highly recommend the color. Glad to see you're considering white.

Yeah, that sucks big time.. I can totally relate. I had the exact same thing happen to a Cadiallac Eldorado I had years back. It was a summer day, I was at a cookout and it started raining. I sat in the car at idle with the AC running for about 20-30 minutes. It kept raining so we went to a store. Came back out of the store and it was sunny out. Started the car and poof, smoke from the engine sills, thru the vents inside, as I start moving. I pull over, pop the hood and there are flames everywhere... And yep, most of the actual damage was done by the fire department busting up all my windows and flooding the car. They even chopped holes in my hood. They looked like they were having fun though... It was totalled. From the looks of things yours will be too. So if that's the case what will you replace it with?
