As always, I hope its not a repost...

I really feel bad for the guy, he seemed to of spent a little bit of money on his car and it flames up on him,,,worst of all he just stands there and watches it go up in flames,,,You just only hope this never, ever happens to you, unless you want a little claim from your insurance, but any other time you pray for this not to happen,,,heres the video, its a little long (maybe 6 or 7 minutes) but its funny, and sad at the same time and you just cant stop watching it...

Enjoy

Volkswagen fire

 

Looks like the turbo started it

I think its time for me to buy an extinguisher :o

 

All that money...and he didnt invest in a fire extinguisher.

 

pretty funny.

shouldn't have had that damn song playing though, I would have rather heard it burn.

 

ACTUALLY! in one scene hes got a fire extinguisher, one of those small ones you would carry in your car...guess it didnt work...

 

omfg....i cried....honestly. What would u have done?

 

those small little ones they sell at the rice shops are useless, they are nothing more than glorified water pistols. he was trying to squirt that little flame on the dash. what an idiot should have went after the source first in the engine bay. that video must have been editted it just seems like the fire spread into the dash rather quickly.

 

Such a shame, i love those cars... excellent musical selection...

 

With the door open, it had plenty of oxygen to fuel it... I don't have an extinghers for my ack, but for my vw bus, I've got 2 (a small dinky one, and a 5 pounder).

 

 

because I'm a firefighter my department pays for extininghers in my car. They said as long as i either pay someone to put in the backets or i put in the brackets myself. I get the extingher for free. so I put in the brackets I put in a 20 pounder in my car. i put mine in my trunk

 

A little Armor-All and a few coats of Zaino and she'll be good as new. But for now.....

 

so sad.. that was a really depressing video. with that music playing in the background too. wow. if my cars started burning like that, i really woudlnt know how i would react. all that money, time, and effort burned to the ground...

 

Exact same thing happened to my friends golf on the side of the highway. Just had to stand there and watch.

That fire extinguisher didnt do much

That has to suck just standing around and watching your car burn up.

 

ZING!

Sad though. Good choice of music. Makes the whole situation that much sadder. AHha.

 

Don't forget "smoker"...

 

That was crazy. Reminds me of the time I was coming up the Hutch behind an M3, and it caught on fire underneath (the tranny), and the guy pulled over off the road, and both him an his wife jumped out. No less than 30-60 seconds after they had jumped out the whole thing went up -- flames were at least 20 feet in the air. It was crazy. Saw the car after the Fire Dept. put it out, an all that was left was the shell. I gave the guy a ride home, and he said that he had only had his car a very short amount of time, and that he was using his brand new V1 that night.

 

what i dont understand is one why he didnt go for the engine bay like it was said and two, he was trying to get it on the dash, but he wasnt spraying. honestly i woulda busted that windsheld and just loaded that whole dash down with that stuff. it was gunna be broken anyway once the fire dept got there. probably coulda kept the fire down enough so that it didnt spread to the seats
