    I heard about that today at the Spring Thaw. That's horrible! Best of luck with your adjuster. I hope you can work it out.

    The pictures are heart wrenching. I can only imagine what it was like to watch that go up in smoke. Damn!

    sorry

    Wow, Steve, that's really tragic. I hope no one was hurt. I hope you can get yourself into a new exotic soon...

    - Eric

    Edit: I just went back and looked for your original post about getting it -- you had that thing for less than two weeks -- unbelievable.

    Congrats on the engagement Steve and Karen!!! I assume no one was hurt in the fire--What the hell happened??


    PS - You had the Diablo for like 2 weeks, it was time to move on to something else anyway....

    Holy crap. I am glad that nobody was hurt. I am in shock.

    Well, mine is still for sale if you want to have another yellow one.

    Wow, again I'm really sorry about the Diablo. I hope the insurance helps out with that. On a happier note, congrats on your engagement. And I wish you the best for the future. Keep us posted on any updates or anything you hear about the Diablo.

    I'll take that one wheel that didn't get destroyed for $1!

    On a serious note, sorry for your loss.

    I think that I noted in an earlier thread, that it's a good thing you don't go through girlfriends the way you go through cars.

    You're pretty hard on the cars.

    You're off one market and back in another.

    Best of luck in both.

    Who said Robbie's bonfires couldn't be topped? I'm betting the dia-be-q was shooting flames at least as high as his was and was much interesting that watching a Lay-z-boy combust..... Glad you are ok now stop dicking around and get a Ferrari already.

    Congrats on your engagement. Very cool way to propose. :)
