*LOOK* I'll have my SE-R well done please

Well I went back up to school 3 weeks ago and about a week ago I got a phone call from my neighbor saying my car was on fire. I was about 400 miles away so there was nothing that I could do, I came home for the weekend to find this:





















The fire department first thought it would be a good idea to break the window and try and pop the hood and when that didnt work they gave me that custom stingray style hood. Also from the heat, the front springs must have collapsed so it sits way high in the back. The Fire department said it was an electrical fire, the car was sitting for 2 weeks untouched and spontaneously combusted.

Electrical fire huh? Not necessarily saying this is what happened, but it's not unheard of for rodents to inhabit cars that just sit untouched for long periods of time. And being that they don't really comprehend electricity, they get a nasty surprise when they chew through wires.

Sorry to hear what happened bro. It seems you are taking it quite well, better than I would've after going through the trouble of dropping in a de. BUT it does seem suspicious that the car would spontaneously burst into flames being untouched.

ditto looks like it's time to start hunting for what relly happened.
