At 2 mill you would think that you could get a team of old school wrenches fabricators and rebuild it.

How about the guy looking saying. Hey, I found it! His wife must have stuffed a grocery bag in what she thought was the trunk.

My Dad had a CL 55 that went up in flames. A hydraulic line came loose and pumped fluid onto the hot engine and the whole thing went up. He and a guy from his office did get the fire extinguished before the firefighters got there but when they arrived the first thing they did was get off the truck and start swinging the axes They must live for that. They left no window unsmashed. No biggie since the car was done anyway.

Scot is and all that guy ever does is eat pizza and spagetti with the boys in the fire house. Occasionally, he goes out and saves a life though.

Yeah, whats up with no fire system on a race car fixed up for the street? We are talking about 2 million bucks here! $1000 fire system would be cheap insurance.

What are you talking about? A fire system would have cost him $1M. Now he can go buy Mr. Bean's car and pocket the insurance money.

Maybe it's the location. My friend's '92 Targa tried to barbeque me in Petaluma (20 miles down the road) one nice summer day when I was running some errands.
