CRX Tragedy This sucks!!

This car belongs to a friend of mine, It was Saturday night and he parked inside his garage and a couple hours later he called to tell me his garage burnt down with his car in it. Car is completely destroyed, melted everything, from the wheels to most of the engine, except the block. This really sucks and reminds you to keep an eye on old electrical work. Just thought i'd share this with everyone since it is amazing to me.

Hope he had good insurance.

he only had liability but he said home owners insurance will cover it but only for the price of the car itself, not any of the mods that were done.

I would puke if that was my car. I would be sick for 7 days and 7 nights. Oh wait when they totalled my car I did puke and was sick for 7 days and 7 nights. Then on the 8th day I bought another civic. HEHE

omg that is awful. what exactly happened? Just shitty electrical wiring in the garage?

We dont exactly know yet but that may be what happened. It was an old garage but it could have also been vandalism. Detectives are doing an investigation on what happened. When I find out what happened ill let ya know.

Damn, what did he have in it, did he do the work his self, cause that would kill me to put my time into something like that and then its gone just like that.

Man that blows. Strip it to the frame and do a ground up build

not worth it, he can get another car for like 200 and do a swap easily

5gcivic · #10 02-27-2005, 11:39 PM

the body got crushed from a beam in the garage plus im sure the fire weakend the whole chassis of the car, not worth it, there is nothing left. He replaced the tranny with an si tranny, stage 2 act clutch and fidanza 7lb flywheel. Heres a pic of the car about 4 months ago.

How can he get another for that price? I can't dind a wrecked one with a blown motor here for that price. Cheapest one I have seen was $3k

With the amount of lies 5gcivic has been telling on this board, I doubt very much if the pic in his message belongs to a friend of his.... Then again, he might start deleteing threads again to prevent being caught...

i find it odd the cars red... but in the burnt pic its yellow.... that doesnt make sence

if a beam crushed a car... it wouldnt crush just portions... notice it looks like the fronts crushed and the back but the middle by the top of the rear windows fine? u would think that would be crushed too

toss up more pics tho if infact this actually happened

yea i agree, plus you see the rims? i don't believe that a fire would melt a rim completly, cause if you look at picture, the rear wheel is burnt to pieces. maybe on a steelie it would work.
