MY ****ING CAR BURNED DOWN!!!!!!

Dude, don't mind killy. Yeah, he's smart, but so was hitler, and hitler was an azzhole too. I've been on these 4.6 forums for a few months, and he's already stepped on my toes a few times. That never happened in 5 years on the 5.0 forums. He's just a miserable guy who gets off on pointing out anyone's flaws, deviations from his ideals, misfortunes, or the chance to say I told 'ya so. If you spend too much time being miserable about miserable pricks like him, he wins, and before you know it, we'll all be bitching about you being the next miserable prick.


And no, I am not name calling, trying to offend anyone, or whatever you want to call it. I'm stating my personal feelings after several experiences and observations. I respect Kilgore's knowledge, but it pretty much stops there. If he stops being the grinch of mustang land, I'm sure I'll learn to like him.

Alright, before this gets out of hand here I'd like to try to squelch any insurance fraud BS that may be getting thrown around here.

Its true, flyboy was having some problems with the engine, he probably had some internal damage to the engine. That's the reason why he was doing the compression test in the first place. He was using my compression tester that I just bought a couple days before to use on my '93 Cobra since I was having some overheating issues and thought I may have blown a headgasket.

If you could look at the fullsize pictures you'd see the burned-out remains of my compression tester (you still owe me a new one flyboy, lol) and the passenger side fuel rail is popped off (showing that the fuel rail wasn't secured properly)

Before he burned his car down, we would talk about what to do if there was damage to the engine, and he pretty much decided that if needed, he was going to rebuild with forged internals and swap out the vortech for a KB blower. Why the hell would he decide to change his mind, out of the blue, and ****ING BURN THE CAR DOWN!?!?

Also, since I personally know this guy, I know that he doesn't have the balls to try to pull off insurance fraud. And he's almost put his full USAFA $30k loan into the car......why the hell would he burn it down for the $15k needed for the '01 Cobra? In addition, until we talked to him, he didn't even think that he would get anything from insurance since it was his own dumb-assery that burned the car down. Thankfully insurance does pay for stupidity.

If people are curious about that last picture of flyboy posing next to the car, if you must know, I told him to do that trying to lift his spirits, because at that time, he was feeling pretty damn ****ty. Also, yes, a guy on a bike happened to be near when the fire started and happened to have an SLR camera. Weird, I know, but those are some pretty spectacular shots. If any of you insurance fraud investigator extrordinaires want to check on that, yes, we can actually give you his name.

Flyboy did try to put the fire out. My '95 GT was nearby and I had a fire extinguisher in the back. he empetied that sob into the engine bay, but it didn't put it all the way out.

Just saying, accusing somebody of insurance fraud, even (especially) on the internet, is a pretty damned irresponsible thing to do. I'm sure that USAA is doing their own investigation, and there's a possibility that they'll read what you wrote. Next time you think you're being smart, think about the consequences of your actions.

I think any mustang owner couldn't willingly watch their pride and joy burn away like that; and to assume so based on online thread postings is simply irresponsible and negligent. Practically Libel, Killgore, as in illegal

It seems as if the incidents were a coincidence. One has to say to themselves, "s*** happens." +1 on the libel business as well; people are getting in deep crap ($$$$) over that now a days, whether it is on the net or elsewhere. If anyone had any suspicions, it should be taken up via PM, email, or AIM (or whatever you use) in order to get the FULL STORY.
