I can't believe this. If it wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any luck at all.

Which Getty station blew up? (I am from New Hyde Park)

I am very glad no one was hurt and maybe you and your GF can get a package deal (two for one )

Hope your luck changes for the better

Thats tooooooooooo crazy! Glad everyone was ok. Lol, i believe this is the last black car for you and yours....Understandable. Theres a supeerstition in our culture (indian) that your first car (or watever) shouldnt be black because its bad luck. At least this is what ive been told by many elders...Best of luck to you.

To parallel this with the issue jmbnova has had to deal recently (his car was jacked while sitting on the dealer parking lot waiting for service)... End result, Jeff's insurance paid for it, dealer assumed NO liability.

Do you think the gas station will assume liability for your girlfriend car since it was parked on THIER property when THIER gas station exploded... If it's managed under the same precedent as Jeff's, nope... This will be coming out of her comprehensive insurance policy.

Good luck dude.

I think the gas station insurance will be paying for this, this is little beyond someone jacking the rims. Reports say that it was a propane explosion. That would be the fault of the station, not theft.


Black...I think it might be time to buy some lotto tickets, lucks gotta change.

Damn Allon! That is sad to hear. Glad that the 2 of you are OK. Like a previous post-if you didn't bad luck you wouldn't have any luck at all. It's now time for a 180 degree shift. Good luck bro.

That sucks but at least no one is hurt. Maybe you can ask the gas station to give your gf life time free gas (or gas at an discount)


Bad luck can only last so long. Buy a lotto

holy shit man... sorry to hear about this...

You have my sympathy... but, there is truth to the fact that you both will be getting some new rides...

Did you have the GAP insurance to cever the difference between what you owe and what you get for the car?

hey sorry for the delay, i was out of town. i went on vacation 15 minutes after the fire was put out (was supposed to leave 5 minutes before it started!!

Well, i just saw the end results. pretty sad. this station was my mechanic and basically the town (mineola) mechanic. nice guy. good business, just very unfortunate. Shes is pretty upset about her car, her insurance (Geico) will pay her, then get the money from the gas station's insurance. it was a realllly big fire...

Her car was actually one of the more lucky ones. the ones in front of the pumps and on the lifts were an unbelievable disaster. Either way, it was a mazda protege, definitely not worth the repairs needed, so it is totalled. Here are some pics

shes the black mazda with no front end..melted off




Left side was melted too. glass, mirrors, doors, handles, seats, tire, wheels, bumper... you name it...



kind of a feel for the whole a scene... massive damage





Not quite sure what the news has said yet... talking with the owner, he thinks it was his acetlyne torch that exploded.... it is still being investigated i believe....

this shit just never ends

OMG

I have never seen anything like that scene since 9/11!

My heart truly goes out to you both.

You guys need a lot of drinks. Come on out to Chicago, let's party up. My treat. Got a fully stocked bar, hot tub, lots of bedrooms, no kids at home.

I promise we'll send you home feeling far less pain. It won't cure a fucking thing, but you'll care a lot less.

lol thanks for the offer. was actually in chicago about 3 months ago on business. my friend likes off... lake street i think? where all the train colors meet in downtown chi.

anyways. yea, the place was a wreck. i didnt take any pics of the fire, because my camera was packed for vacation. i will find some from the news though. they had like 5 helicopters over the scene.

its funny, because this was my mechanic. my girl was always there getting looked at , or worked on, or just stopping by to bullshit. lucky for him, his TT 300ZX wasnt there that day.
