I don’t think he had enough cars....

Most likely the Tesla that self ignited and roasted the other cars ... there's a post somewhere regarding those occurences !

You would think a setup like that would have been fully sprinklered, or maybe even a foam system like an aircraft hangar.

What is a 911 "Special"? Never heard of that one. A 2018 at 350k Im guessing GT2RS

Could have also been an exclusive edition turbo.

unless he owed money on all of them?

maybe a house of cards..

where i live average house is 2.5-3 million- most have 1 or 2 cars ford explorer or a lexus like a rx or es.

financially he maybe very over-extended or he was a car dealer.

i could be wrong, you never know when someone lives above their means

or a harbor freight battery tender.

I am proud to report that no air cooled porsche's were harmed in the making of this film

naw that guy is a multi multi millionaire . His parents built a car parts empire that spans the globe. he has the only Bugatti of its kind in Canada, cant remember which one it is , came out after the Veyron ...

I figure its good he is legacy to a car parts empire, looks like he is going to need it.
I have heard hes not a bad guy and gives a lot of money to charity

This was my first thought as well.

wildcat077 05-29-2019 05:56 PM

Yeah, there's a bunch of videos on You Tube regarding those flaming Teslas !

tcsracing1 06-01-2019 12:57 AM

thankfully they were not historically significant

I just looked at that video that is definately a Turbo S exclusive that burned up. Sorry for the guys loss.
