Its official ..... Its total'd

Wow, I'm sorry to hear about that. Pretty scary, I'm glad your family is safe!

Dude I sorry about all the money and rodents lost.


But curiosity makes me have to ask. How the heck did it catch fire? I mean going in somewhere and coming out to see your car ablaze seems like something out of a movie.

Holy cow! SO glad your wife and daughter are ok! That's terrible about the rats and mice, though :(

I was driving through town one day (well I was actually practically in the country) and I saw a pick up truck sitting in someone's yard with the bed of the truck engulfed in flames. Now, I live in the south and so burning things is normal. When I first saw it I said to myself, "is that normal?" The next time I came through the truck was charred! It's actually a wonder the house didn't catch on fire. The truck was parked in the front yard and was uncomfortably close to the house. Still no idea what started it. It could have been the fuel tank. The way it was burning there had to have been something extremely flamable.

Poor rats.

Oh my goodness that's awful! I'm glad your family was a ok, but those poor mice/rats :( Hopefully they died quickly from smoke inhalation.

What a terrible loss.

Fire damage report says that cause is undeterminable due to "Total Burn" but did confirm that it started in the engine compartment drivers side and is suspected to be around the power steering fluid cooler hose. On a seperate note I will sign the papers from the insurance company tomorrow and they will send out a check for the remaining equity, the bank already has their money.

If anyone knows where I can get a decent replacement van I would sure appreciate a good lead.


Thanks for all the support.

Got a new van on friday. :banana::banana::banana:

Congrats on the new van!!!!!!! It looks REALLY nice :gj::gj:

Oh my! I am so sorry for what happened to your first van! I'm glad that your wife and child were safe and out of harm's way! I can only imagine what that must have been like. Congratulations on the new van though! To think about all of those poor rats and mice is just terrible.

Nice van. I bet this one will fit your needs perfectly.

Congrats!
