first of all, fire own3d you.

next, sorry...

and lastly, congrats on the possible new car... :thumbsup:
 
what were you doing driving your car without insurance?

sucks it burned but that was way better then getting your car impounded or going to jail for no insurance

way to many people on this board drive with no insurance....
 
wait so was I the first person you told??? I feel special. Will tells me his adventures with the hate of God. :)

bwahahaha thats kinda funny, but ah sorry about the car man, thats a bum deal. Hopefully u can get that loan and rock that gsr swapped hatch
 
bummer. My mom's old Camry did that one time. She literally was just down the road and caught a ride home quickly. I drove down real quick and the alloys in the front were melting. Not unlike you, the only thing I could tell her was,

"well mom, the good news is that you finally get a new car."

Texas huh, how are the head internals?, and the VTEC solinoid? I am about to PM you.

I'm curious to know how it happened... Obviously there must have been a sudden short. It's not like you wired the car incorrectly and melted it.

The starter solenoid had to short or something. Fuses didn't blow? Look into this situation some more before giving up the ghost on it.
