Some people asked me if I had pics of my 2K GSR that caught fire,
Here they are, I finally put them up on my site, here are a few!

(BAD = Bye bye GSR, insurance stress, ITR searching stress)
(GOOD = Getting the car I have always wanted! and loving every second of it.)

 

How did the fire start?

 

Wow, the fire seemed to burn the color off your tail lights, thus making them clear

 

Well at least you got rid of the Altezzas

 

of all the things that should have burned was the gaytezzas

 

 

damn

 

The altezzas did it

 

My friends car almost caught fire once when he flicked his cig out the window and it came back into the car! Like 30min later his carpet and rear seats seats were starting to smoke!! So Dude what happened to you car???

 

burn alteeza burn

 

nah his car isnt too bad, though that fire looks horrible...like a we todd from fl was around your car and took it a little too far

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=5335 <-- worse, and it isnt even burned.

 

those altezzas are just too hot.

my guess, fire started from a cig or electrical fire (due to stereo?)

 

:fire:

 

electrical fire due to stereo? does that actually happen?

 

jes. as with any electronics it's possible for them to burn. Cap's in particular are fun to burn if you ever get bored. Diff cap's will burn and shoot flames of different colors.

 

Fyr advice from the FyrStarter, ladies and gentlemen

 

looks like it happpend from the back since there are no front view pictures. fire from fuel maybe?

 

Looks like *** penny's car with clear tails:

 

Yes it was from my stereo and from fuel. The amp had a short I guess, maybe static... not sure, but it blew and I suffered minor burns. 1/2nd degree, nothing permanant. Just looked nasty for a little while and it was a little uncomfortable.
Fuel was in the back from an "empty" gas can. I smelt gas and the rest was history... I think it was just the empty can with accumilated fumes... just a unusual situation.

BTW: The lights were "carbon fiber" and I got them for free... so I had them on for like 2 weeks... never liked them, I was planning on taking them off anyway. I didnt even take them off after the fire, I kept the stock ones kept a lot of goodies from the car. I knew the engine was sold before it even reached the junk yard; hence, the GSR on my R
