This last Friday while coming home from a friends I was pushed into a ditch by a SUV (F-150 I think). The damage was very minimal because I corrected of the road into the median (The SUV kept on driving, basturd). It all happened so fast im still shock that it happened. Well while trying to get my car out of the ditch, a fire started in the engine bay. I dont know exactly how it happened but in minutes my car was in flames. I just sat on the road crying, I still feel like its a dream. Ill try and get pics on the car, gonna go the the bodyshop tomorrow to take of my rims since there was no damage to them. Heres how she looked before the mayhem:




My dad let me borrow one of his cars in the meantime while I shop around for something new. I had many great memories in this car that I will never forget. I think Ill get something more practical this time arounds maybe a WRX or GTI not to sure yet.

 

Sorry to hear that man...glad you're ok

 

Get the evo mr or evo X.. The new sti is ftl bro..

 

I'd cry to .....GL with the recovery

 

sorry to hear that.

 

that sucks bro, i think i would be crying like a little girl if that happened to me. GL with what you do next man.

 

Sorry to hear that, get another Z with the insurance money, I will admit i was crying when I had a big accident with my Z, didnt eat for a couple days, just felt sick, but now i have it back and try to forget about what happend

 

Wow, that sucks. Let us know if they ever find out why the engine bay caught fire.

 

i smell insurance fraud

jk, sorry to hear that bro. I'd like to see some pics if you can.

 

That sucks man. Hope everything works out in your favor.

 

Dude that sucks. I know how it is (crashed a car and had to bum rides for three weeks). That was a pretty Z. Are you selling the wheels?

 

that does suck horribly man, i wouldn't be able to stay away from the Z though i would get another one, but i do wish to know what wheels those are, i like them alot.

 

Damn man sorry to hear that. Thats horrible to watch your car go up in flames. Good luck with everything.

 

im sorry for your loss

 

Did you have any mods done under the hood?

Never heard of a stock Z catching fire like this.

 

I smacked up my Z the other day... Nothing crazy, just scratches and dents in the fender and paint spidering in the bumper. But, it's murder having to daily drive my shame! It's going to the body shop next week. Sorry that happened, man. Good luck with whatever's next.

 

Sorry to hear. Definitley let us know why the fire started. GL!

 

I don’t get this at all. You were forced into the ditch or the median (I cannot tell for sure from your message). Anyway (and I’m assuming this) your car ended up off the road. Then when you were moving the car out of the ditch (or the median?), it burst into flames. Is that correct?

I understand that these things can happen, but your story sounds incredible. You should provide more details since it is unusual for a car to begin burning when doing a simple retrieval.

Obviously it is a freak accident, and he probably doesn't know the exact reason as to why it happened. Who really would?
