It's hard to have something 'nice' out in public sometimes.

3 flares .. sheesh, I agree someone was targeting you specifically or really hated to see something nice out in public.

Get with the insurance company, talk to Vette Essentials, make it better than it was. No reason to make it 'stock' again

Looks like it was contained reasonably well, but it would require a full interior replacement to get rid of anything damaged.

On the upside, good opportunity for a fully custom replacement if you end up keeping the car.

Best of luck on catching them.

Man oh man.....You were sure lucky to catch it before the flames got any bigger...it would have been a total gonner. I'm torn between this being someone that knows you and being someone that is targeting convertibles because they can do this through the top.

Damn ballsey lighting three road flares in a parking lot.....like that wouldn't attract some attention!!

I really hope the perp(s) is caught....really.....they deserve to be hurt.

Please keep us informed.

Explain to me how burning the hell out of someone's pride and joy is "gay". This "gay" vette owner takes offense to that statment. I would never wish this on anyone. Come up with something a little more intelligent would ya.

Holy crap. This really sucks!

That kind of damage is a felony, so if they catch the bastard (or bastardess?) they will be in deep...

Best of success with the insurance company.

I don't think he meant anything bad to homo's when he said that.

Hell, I say stuff is gay all the time, but that isn't a slam on homosexuals. It is just a younger persons way of saying something sucks.

Jezz Jeff, this is the first time I've seen this thread! So sorry to see that. I'm sure it will work out in the long run but it certainly sucks big time right now.
