ok so i just got on here, so i got the point that travs car was on fire. :sad but how bad. The p.r’s caused trouble and the obv. happened. people hurt = im NEVER going to central ave agiain. and if i went nd i was in the middle, i would ended up saying something, as sean steve and my g/f know you DONT get in my way when im pissed. i already had someone, an hour ago flip me off in schenecday (not saying the race) and then a african american (the best i wanna put it right now) approach my car in broad daylight, and say if i had a problem with him, well he punched my car = dent in door, dont know if i can get it out. happened on the corner on elder and state st at 815 am. filed a police report. Which insidently i got in a accident on that SAME corner, almost two years ago (september 21st 2006). im done with this albany bullshit, considering putting my car to stock and selling it cause of all the fucking stupid people that have ruined it (city snow plow took out door/fender, girl with a hitch broke my door handle. drunk guy hit me in front etc.). ---

> [@chris88z24](#): > > :wtf > > Any idea how it happened? And insurance should cover it, modded or not. from what they described it sounded like an oil/fuel line blew off, there was a spot of oil on the ground where they tried to move the car, and it had oil on it. on a second note, Travis some parts still looked salvage able, like the rear wheels tires, wing trunk, im sure you could sell some of that stuff for some money. ---

For sure the cat back/axle back, rear wheels and tires, trunk lid & spoiler, tallights all seemed to be in good condition…good enough condition to sell and make some extra loot on. ---

travis the insurance company WILL cover your car. I doubt there is any way to show that its modded… :cough: don’t let something like this ruin your car enthusiasm. just kick the ground a few times, shake your head, and start anew. trust me, my car’s been destroyed 4 times before its running now. just work on getting the insurance all taken car of, and then look onto something new. I will be pitching into the donation pool as far as getting you a daily driver… but to let you know now, the daily will have 3-4 fire extinguishers installed 🙂 ---
