well everyone it was a fun ride while it lasted. My car burst into flames on I-5 just coming into tigard oregon... flames totaled the engine bay, gutted the intererior and the firemen punched several holes in the hood and fenders to get the fire completely out.
someday i will replace it but it will probably be a little while.
I will post up some pics when i can
wow dude sorry to hear that. whats the reason for the fire?
Well I am sorry for your loss. At least everyone was ok. Did it start in the engine bay?

dam that sucks, lucky everyone is alright.
this is the exact reason I keep a fire extinguisher in my car.
That must have been depressing, watching them break your car to get the fire out. I'm very sorry for you. I wish you the best of luck in finding another Celica. Did your insurance cover this?
^ Yeah, I'd be mad too. That is CRAZY though. I see they even had to force your trunk open? And that first pic with the billowing smoke is INSANE.
Hope you get out of this okay.
