This happened on saturday night
I had just change the oil in the car, took it for a ride down the street about 1 mile, I was just cruising and not even getting on it when smoke come out under the hood, turn into a street to pop the hood, and flames shot out, I called 911 and fire trucks showed up, but the damage was done, I'm ok and lucky nobody was with me.
Engine compartment is melted and burnt and I'm sure the car will be totaled, when the insurance company looks at it.
Sad night for me, but I will be ok
Only had the car for about two months.


R.I.P.

 

ahhhh dude thats sad man.
sorry about your loss....that thing was lookin good too.

Hopefully youll get a good cheque out of it, and you can get somethin even nicer.

 

your lucky it wasnt a cobalt..

j/k

dude what cause it... oil on the engin?

 

wow sry to hear about that, very nice car by the looks of it!

 

damn 03 srt's , everyone I know with a yellow one has problems with them,.

sorry to see that though man, I love the srt-4

 

sorry to hear man...thats a sweet srt-4

 

that was a sweet srt4.

Sorry to hear that man, let us know what you get next.

 

sorry to hear about that one man, my buddy has a silver srt-4 and those cars are great cars. it sucks to see that had happened especially considering you only had it for two months and that happened.

i don't see them calling it anything but totalled but maybe you'll be able to go out and find another one with the insurance money if they don't screw you over like they tend to

 

damn that really sucks. how much was put into it and what parts?

 

That's brutal... sorry to see it go and totally glad you're ok. Keep us posted.

 

ouch, that sucks, but its gonna suck worse for the guy who changed you oil if it turns out to be his fault.

hope your aftermarket **** was insured.

 

are you sure you didnt do this on purpusse so you can get a cobalt

 

if your looking to buy another one there is one where i live 05 orange

That really sucks dude. I bet you were just falling in love with that thing.

Wanna come change my oil? I could always go for something new.

 

Ouch

I bet you can get a bunch of Cobalt SS/SC guys to line up against you now...........


So any idea what kind of car you are going to replace it with? No 06-07 Neons.......

 

Damn, that's a shame...Sorry for your loss...

 

dam man that sucks, i woulda made the great lakes all over again from crying if that happened to me, so whats your future plans now? going back with a srt-4? or another car?

 

damn that suxs man especially since you just got it too.

 

yeah that sucks man, i wanna know what happened!! good luck with getting everything worked out, glad you're alright

 

thanks for the comments guys, I guess it was just one of those things that happpens, I really don't know what or how it caught on fire.
There were alot of aftermarket parts in that car, the previous owner had put into it.
I'm just going to wait and see what the insurance company is going to do, I am just going to wait until the end of oct, and see what my options are as far as purchasing another car,
but I do have three in mind,
SRT-4
COBALT SS/SC
EVO

thanks again everyone, and always carry a fire extinguisher in your cars.

 

Sorry for your loss man. But just think, this could open up new doors to your next moddable car!

 

Damn man, that sucks! At least you are okay that is all that matters!

 

or a s2000

 

sorry to hear about that, maybe for your next car you'll wise up and by a cobalt!
