Well, I think she's gone!

[super66]

yikes....that sucks man....good thing you're okay....get a white one now

[chgolatin2]

Yeah something doesnt sound right and I am actually hurt deep inside since I put some love into her and did a couple of things to make her perform better, can I afford another 1? Probably so, however, I dont know if the insurance will probably repair the car. the car is intack besides the enginre area and the rear walls of the interior lining, the side vents are all burnt up as well and the car smells like crap.

I reported the incident to the insurance yesterday night, after, thinking and thinking about what the hell went wrong. Maybe something that the mechanics did went wrong but I cant prove that and I cant tell the insurance that the car had some modifications done they my deny my claim and have me pursue my indy shop, hmmmmmmm I wonder if they have good insurance? lol! I would LOVE to get me an all white one newer S model but I doubt that I will be able to afford her since this car was my return gift present after returning from the war in the middle east and i had saved all my money to purchase her. Sucks, that I went through so much and suffered and lost so many and now this **************** happens just not fair! I think God has a purpose for everything, however, I dont know whats the purpose or reason for this to happen.

Thanks to everyone!

I am sorry for your loss. I hope that you do a post mortem on your car, because I was about to do the same modifications with headers and such to my car.
My thoughts are that the steel or alloy that the "made in china" headers are made from may get red hot, burn the surrounding plastic parts and cause a fire. Also some of the heat shielding may have been removed or damaged from the install.
Whatever the case, I think I will stick with stock headers for now and wait to see how this turn out.
I really think that this is too much of a coincidence that after working on the hottest part of the car it catches fire.
I would keep my mouth closed about any modifications to the car. Surely somewhere in your insurance policy it will state that this will void your coverage.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

[Dr. Kill]

Wow, sorry to hear about your loss.

Life is tough sometimes - maybe the way to look at it though is not that God took your car, but that he got you out in time without you getting burned up along with it.

Your Boxster is like the Phoneix from the ashes to be reborn in a newer better Boxster!

Thank goodness you didn't get hurt. Where were you when it happened, like what street/tollway?
