Headlights still work...
|
here's another car fire:
http://videos.topredline.com/recentv...b000e84ed8.htm After watching how ineffective the fire extiguishers were, I wonder if it would make any more sense to just have a giant half dome shaped metal container you could drop over a burning car to smother it. |
thats horrible...

As Dave Coleman from SCC once wrote, putting a stainless steel heat shield on your bumper to prevent a bumper fire is rice. Putting a stainless steel heat shield on your bumper to prevent another bumper fire is not rice.
I'll have to ask him if this means we're all allowed to do that now. New BHR product? |
I guess that was the only way the guy could figure out how to burn the rear tires with an automatic rx8.
|
I smell new parts car for gr3ddy.. Wonder what he could get off this one?!!
|
GRAN MIERDA!!!! QUE PASO!! |
the strakes caused the fire.
|
Wow I can't believe I didn't hear about this as I live in bethpage when I'm not at school. That sucks and hope the driver is okay.

I saw this on a news site and I hope this isn't one of you guys. I don't see any impact, and the headlights are still on. He must've got outta there quick...

Dude i wonder if he would sell the OEM Hid ballasts :P
But in reality, its a sad way for any 8 to go. |
at least it looks like it was taken care of before the fire, the hood and rims are clean!
thats one hell of a tough draw though :( |
that poor rx8 :(
|
I'm going with socket7 on this one. They plan B this car lol.

Perhaps they are not missing. Perhaps they are a molten blob at that stage. Have heard the rear doors are aluminium & if thats true, doesn't aluminium have a lower melting point than steel.....?? Amazing how well modern day cars burn with all their plastics Reality says this RX-8 may be stolen & the theives wanted to torch the evidence....... REgards |
Yep, Rear Door Shells are Aluminum.
|
I want the lip.
|
A moment of silence..................................:icon_no2 : I hate seeing nice cars go out like this.
|
Who has a fire extinguisher in the car? I think that might be a good mod...
|
Oh shoot! I think the whole fire started inside of the car! I think it was burning for couple of minutes.

first dibs on the air dam i need one... hope the owners o.k tho
|
excuse my ignorance but how is it possible for the fire to be at the rear end of the car? generally i though when most cars catch fire its from the engine bay...
no smart ass comments im actually curious to know what technical possibilities could have caused this? |
drove with the ebrake on for a few miles maybe?
