Victor(Puerto Rico) just called with bad news regarding his

[Guest Anonymous]

Well, the car was in the body shop and had already been painted and the shop burned down yesterday!!

He has not seen the car yet, but the shop owner told him that the front of the car and the doors had been damaged.

This car, over and above being a 2002, which we all love and cherish, has a special sentimental value for Victor. At this point he does not know if it is rebuildable.

Victor will probably be offline until Monday, but he asked me to post the sad news on the boards to let all the group know and to find out any suggestions for dealing with the shop's insurance.

Thanks to all,

no price too high. He would probably never sell it anyway. Worse case, it can live on in part in a new car if that is the route he will go. Tell him to get the insurance info from the owner an be a pitbull about the resolution of his claim.

Actually having to watch it burn. Ask me how I know... With first hand experience my sincere sympathies go out to Victor!

I know what it's like to have a sentimental car get damaged. Hopefully he can rebuild it.

I HAD A TAURUS BLOW A POWER STEERING LINE AND CATCH ON FIRE !

I HATED THIS CAR AND REALLY DID WANT TO WATCH IT BURN !

I ALSO HAD FIRE INSURANCE .

JOHNNY ON THE SPOT , A GUY RUNS UP WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER - I COULD NOT THANK HIM ENOUGH .

SERIOUSLY , I HOPE IT IS NOT TOO BAD FOR VICTOR .

I NEVER LOST A GOOD ONE THIS WAY .
