Yikes!

PAUL SS · 10-20-2011, 11:16 AM

Ouch. Wouldn't be the first time a new car burned up. Won't be the last. Hope it wasn't because of a mod.

CooG · 10-20-2011, 11:31 AM

Somebody grab that top!

95birdible · 10-20-2011, 11:43 AM

Thought the same thing Coog. Might as well have a spare if they are wearing out in weeks.

Is this the one from that video at the car show? Where it caught on fire.

2010 SSRS · 10-20-2011, 04:08 PM

scary

Kite31 · 10-20-2011, 04:09 PM

I think this is the same one that I saw on one of my friends friends facebook. They were there when it happened. x]

HDRDTD · 10-20-2011, 04:09 PM

A little bondo, a little touch-up paint.......
Just like new.

Boy that sucks!!

Rogan · 10-20-2011, 04:51 PM

Get that strut brace.

Drago77 · 10-20-2011, 05:07 PM

Guess he REALLY had it with the top issues!

95birdible · 10-20-2011, 05:24 PM

Hey now Chevy can say their tops are fireproof! Able to withstand hundreds of degrees of heat thanks to our special tape fix. Just make sure it doesn't fall off before the fire.

GEEo · 10-20-2011, 05:28 PM

Ohh sh*t!!

Nasty1970 · 10-20-2011, 06:27 PM

Wicked. Wonder how that happened?

ECCamaro · 10-28-2011, 03:21 PM

Interestingly, the front tires seem to have withstood the flame. The flames did not seem to get to the top. I wonder if they got to the inside.

I assume it is a total loss.
