My car burnt down yesterday

[JBC77]

I had a 92' Blazer that I used to tow my dirt bikes with, winter time beater truck for the New England snow so I don't f!#^ up my sedan. Pulled the f!#er out in the street from the driveway, had 10K worth of dirt bikes on the back. Left it running, ran in the house for a sec for a forgotten cell phone......next thing I know I hear the windows blowing out on it from the flames.

I didn't even call the fire department. Put that sh1t out with a garden hose. Whole inside melted. For some reason I couldn't stop laughing.

Ever have some ill stuff happen to your ride like that?

It was a beater, was worth a dime and a half. Brought it to the crusher today in Hartford. They gave me $200.00 to crush. Oh well.

Were the bikes ok?

Good Times

ouch !!

[accuscoresucks]

ring ring goes the insurance check

[daggerkobe]

I doubt he had full insurance coverage on a 17 year old car.

[SlappyWhite]

I usually drop full coverage just to liability once the car is under 3k.

That is what happens when you drive old cars, I have had plenty of cars die on me because very old. My newest car was approx 15 years old and alwyas problems.

[Bet Shooter]

Let me know if you need another 4X4 to replace it. I have a ton of guys buried in those gas guzzlers that are dieing to unload them.

[JBC77]

All I had on it was minimum liability. It was a loss. They gave me a few bucks to crush it.

The funny part was, once I saw it on fire, my first instinct was to call the fire department. I couldn't find the cordless or the cell. I'm running around like a f!@#ing chicken with my head cut off.

Finally, after two laps around the house with no phone, I ran out and busted that garden/fire hose out. When I opened the door to the car sh1t burnt up my hair a little bit. Neighbors came out in force to observe me. No cops / firemen ever showed up. Glad the gas tank didn't blow or something.

Dirtbikes unscathed, trailer fine. Did have two ugly stick fishing poles meltdown on me though. Good thing they just built a $10 million dollar Cabelas store right down the street.

JB are you not telling us something?? I have heard this before where you feel embarrassed to tell the truth.

Odds JB's car was burned to the ground by a bookmaker -170

To top it off, I'm on my way home from work today. Got my seat belt on, we have a law in CT, wear your belt or $75 fine and a reason for the pigs to pull you over.

I usually blaze an L on my ride home from work. Didn't light it right away for some reason. Half way home I get pulled over for a brake light out on the passenger side.

Not my week boys, but good thing I didn't blaze that L right away. Would have looked pretty going to jail for weed all dressed up in a shirt and tie on my way home from work.

Naw JJ, those old Blazers aren't exactly German engineering. Fire started near the radio, bad wire probably.

I did think about rubbing ash on myself and burning my arms up a bit, but with only liability.....why bother.
