well guys its been fun but i have to leave the .org due to the fact last nite my car started a fire.i was playing basketball with my girl in hempstead,LI and we were leaving. i started my car , put it in drive then not i sec later i see in the rear view mirror flames in the trunk. so i stop the car, took my keys and phone and ran as far away from the car. call 911 and they came in 5 min but all it took was 1 min for the fire to kill the max. after the fire dept came n hosed down the car, all that was left was bare metal from the interior bmw headlights and rims/tires. so now, this is/was my last maxima experience. now im going to be mta bussin' 4 a long while. i will miss the max and the site, but theres no point 4 me to be here. thanks for all the help in the past n thanks for the compliments in the past. i hope u guys won't have this bad experience. so mr moderator, u can dead my screenmame, thanks again!!! bye.

 

how the hel! did that happen!?!?

did you have amps back there? fuel leaking?

 

on his cardomain, looks like there is an optima and a couple subs (probably amp too) in the back. I wonder if something went wrong with the wiring back there


anyway, sorry to hear about that and glad you guys made it out allright

 

Man, really sorry to hear that! Good luck to you in the future, and just because you don't have a max doesn't mean you have to give up on the .org!

 

fuse? ....

 

Me and Spence hang out on a regular basis and he had just took his amp out because it had blew. He had covered the amp power wire because he took out the subs and amps until he got a new amp but apparently it got free and sparked up on the trunk carpeting. Car caught fire, burned up, rim lock key burned in fire so the rims are still on the car. And I thought me just denting a rim was bad He just had a JDM VG put in too!! I had just saw him not even 24 hours before this happened and the car was in excellent condition. Spence keep the name!! Just in case you find another Max.....

 

damn that's crazy...but this is another reason why you need to FUSE THE POWER WIRES. if it contacted the trunk it would've just blown the fuse.

 

PICS of the damage??? sorry to hear about it man ill sell you my maxima cheap 90 5 speed. good luck in the future

 

sry to hear that but as brad92se said, you dont have to leave the .org. get another maxima and start over again and make it even better!

 

wow...thats gotta be scary, a car one minute, and none the next. Sorry bout your car...but just get another one and stay here!

 

KRMaxima21 n GTR_skyliner took pics today.

 

that sucks

 

holy ****. that must have sucked big time. i should start working on securing the connections to my rear audio things before this happens to me..

but man, that was a nice max u had there.. and the bimmer lights makes it a uniquely cool max. an immense amount of work and money gone down the tubes. sry that it happened to u.. hope u find another max soon..

 

damn spence that sucks, if your looking for another cheap max pm me.

 

Skyliner should have the pics up soon but let me tell you now it's not for the weak of heart. It was like seeing a murder. The rims, tires and engine were fine. The interior from the trunk to the dashboard were completely burned down. Being that the car was still hot when they towed it the night before they wouldn't let him take the rims or e36's off the car and when I went to see it yesterday they told me "Look at it and move on with your life" so they took it to the junkyard with the muffler, rims, and headlights on it. I'll see if we can get them posted by late afternoon or tonite. Hey Spence, I know someone who is selling a Maxima in our area so if you still want a Max let me know...

 

that really sucks....at least no one was hurt physically in the fire. although i'm sure it hurts emotionally.
anyways spence,
it looks like a few people here are willing to help you out, check out the maximas they've got for sale. you might be able to avoid that bus pass after all.

Oh man that stinks. You should have gotten the wheels and lights off regardless of what the junk yard said. While it was still under your ownership you should have gotten that stuff and at least sold it to pay a little of the expenses.

Still I hate that happened...good luck with whatever you do in the future.

 

man that hurts, best of luck to you and your next car

 

thanks dawgs!!!

 

WOW THAT SUCKS. glad to hear you got out ok. and dont listen to jason, he's just bitter cause he got kicked out of the game

 

thanks juan....man..its just crazy...i was going 2 order the stillen kit n get it paint before we have that meet u was setting up too.

 

I was only trying to get rid of... whatever keep that blue pos in your yard then.

ps. I have a "real" job

 

Man, that really sucks dude. Glad everybody is ok. What are you going to get next?

 

acura tl or 4th gen max

 

That's where I'm headed. Probably a nice 96 SE 5spd I have my eye on.

 

4th gen mods r jus as easy as lookin 4 mcdonalds

 

Is it only me or does anyone else keep a fire extinguisher in their car? Just in case this happens. But once I saw a bug on the side of the rode on fire, made me think about keeping one in the car.

 

I keep fire extinguishers in my car. I have a 10 lb abc and a 5 lb halon. Halon rocks but are hard to get. My dad owns a fire extinguisher company though.

The only problem is I keep my extinguisher in the trunk and that wouldnt help in this situation since that is where the fire started.

 

So does this mean I can't buy the E36 headlights off you? You know, a little piece of your car could live on....

 

the hempstead junkyard owns the car now. all i have left is the 48" in. wings west spoiler(primed). u can get the headlights on ebay really cheap now.

 

if that car was still in your ownership i woulda jacked it up right in front of the junkyard and got my **** back. they know they are gonna make $$ off those things and they probally gave you **** for the car . i woulda bought your swap from you good luck with the car search and hopefully you wond encounter this type of bad situatiopn again. i had one cr catch on fire it was a 71 cutlass vert my baby i was restoring it and it was in a garage that went up......i still havent recoverd

 

Really sorry to hear that happened. Good luck with your next car.
