BBQ (Caution: Pictures can cause emotional distress)
Hi all, was just getting around to finishing up some stuff for my new DD. Just got it 4 weeks ago, drove it for < 500 miles (2006 997 C4S 3x Black)
The only picture I had
By lunch today, this is what was left
Wife just got home with groceries, parked her Lexus RX330 (06) in garage. She noticed smoke and thought the car overheated. She called my daughter out to the garage to help her with the groceries. She stepped out and saw flames underneath the car. Daughter came out and saw the Lexus was on fire! Daughter called 911 and got everybody out of the house and family is safe.
The fire was fairly isolated in the garage so the rest of the house had minimal damage. The only thing that saved the rest of the house was my daughter was able to shut the door between the garage and house before she ran out (walls and door fire-rated 2 hours). Fireman said if that door was open, it would been a lot worse.
- New 19" MRR RW5 Wheels
- Clear side markers
- Polish/clean tail pipes
- Transit Blu Bluetooth (last item)
- Gundo hack (was trying to find Chris Sterling last night)

Yup, there was some serious heat. The garage door was open too when the fire started on the underside of the Lexus so it still got pretty hot

I smell smoke Honestly, I'd rather have the car than any settlement. It took me 9 months to find this car

They are just "things" fairly easily replaced. The fact your family was not injured or that your house was further damaged is a blessing. But, yeah, hard to see a nice Porsche toasted like that.
