I've had a car that lit up on fire before, pulled over near IN and Out burger while my shit was smoking. A firefighter came up and said, don't open the hood until you get an extinguisher. So i went into in and out and took their extinguisher in there and came out and he popped my hood and sprayed where the smoke was coming from. Otherwise I probably would have done the exact same shit this dude did, which was to pop the hood and give the fire more air to make your shit burn faster.

It is always good to have an extinguisher.

If your smoking, NEVER pop the hood unless you have an extinguisher. You can find them at most businesses that are required to have them, like gas stations, restaurants, most places will have one.

Dudes probably got insurance so no tears will be shed, just goes to show most vette owners have more money than brains most of the time....

I think Dumbass outa take whatever the insurance company gives him, thank whatver god he believes in for free money ( because no doubt the fire was his fault, or whoever worked on the car last) and take the insurance money straight to the nearest car dealer, to invest in a car that he wont touch and destroy.

I fail to see how the guy's a dumbass just because his car caught fire. From what I can remember from reading his posts on SVTP, he and his buddy have built those two cars (the 03 cobra as well) in their garage by themselves - seems like plenty of know-how. In addition to all of the hours they've put into those cars, the $$$ invested would make that a terrible loss - regardless of who manufactured the car. At some point, I think the 'car guy' brotherhood transcends brand-loyalty and we can/should all look at something like this and feel for the guy's loss. Don't understand the need to pass judgement on the guy.
