Damn

Dennis,
Sorry to hear about the car.

But glad to hear you were not injured to badly

Hope to see you around in the future

Remember you don't have to have a car to come hang out here and share your knowledge and common sense that we have all come to appreciate


Gerry

Dennis, im very sorry to hear this. i can say from previous experience that a fire hurts more than what money can repair. it shakes your confidence in yourself and your ability to compete or partcipate in a hobby. as marcellis wallace said "Thats just your pride f'ing with you,f pride." when i raced i lost a bike to fire so i kinda know what youre feeling. the first few days were not that bad i planned my come back but as i started to work and figure out what went wrong and realized it was my fault i was really shook up over it. youll get back in the groove. dont let it beat you down. and more importantly dont beat yourself down.

I'm very sorry to hear this as well Oasis. I totally concur with Laz on what kind of mental damage a fire, or any catastrophic automotive event can do.

Glad YOU made it through with your physical health intact.

Kinda late posting, but just found out from NO_H20 (been out of town helping someone) I'm very sorry to hear about the loss. I still remember that big grin you had on your face at Taccoa after getting MassIVe power. Good luck with your future plans.

Dennis. Get the check and keep the car (or buy it back cheap). Lots of the things you put into the car can be used again or rebuilt and used again. The insurance company will not know disc brakes from drums, etc. if they sell it off. Maybe the car can be saved.

I may be a new VKG member and have never met you I truly do feel your pain. I would like to extend my deepest sympathies because even though my car is not much to look at it was my first car and I couldn't imagine loosing it. Please if there is anything I can do ask.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Cars are replaceable. It's the people (and their passion for them) that endure. Glad you are safe...
