    Just saw on KCAL that the home of a local attorney who lives above Sunset Plaza burned this morning. I heard the sirens but didn't know what was going on.

    Firefighters managed to save his F50 in the garage. From the brief shot on TV, the F50 was red with black wheels. I know I've seen this car around town. The attorney's name is Brian Witzer. Don't know if he's a member here.

    Wow, that was some fire.

    What other cars were in the garage?

    I wonder what the cause will turn out to be. I don't have audio, so if they mentioned it in the video i'm not aware.

    At least no one was injured.

    I've met Brian a few times and he was a really nice guy and shared his passion with cars with me and some friends. This is a really unfortunate situation :(

    Just glad the owner is safe. Cars are just 'stuff' - ya think that John Jacom Astor
    would have cared about his 'stuff' if he had survived the Titanic?

    Watched the ch 5 news at 10 tonight, they claimed the F50 was worth 2 mil. So what was so special about this one that made it so valuable??

    That's her given name... and Amelia Earhart is a relative of hers. I can't remember the exact relation though. It's a pretty cool story.
