2012 5.0 Caught on fire last night? Wtf?

There are 1 or 2 states that do not require insurance. However, I don't know of any lending institution that would let you get away with not having insurance on a liened vehicle. Maryland's MVA will hunt you down if they even suspect you have an uninsured, registered vehicle. Hell, I've had to prove twice that I had insurance on vehicles. They send out random letters requesting proof of insurance, presumably to collect on as many $30/day fines as possible. (Welfare is expensive, donchaknow.)

Even then, if your insurance is over $400 a month because of your driving record, well, you should probably be driving around in an '86 Volvo station wagon instead of a sports car. Jus' sayin'.

Believe it or not, Florida doesn't require insurance on motorcycles.

Well there is an exception. AFTER you get a major violation, then you have to have insurance. LOL

Yeah, explain that to the cop that gave me a citation for not having proof of insurance on my bike when I got pulled over for speeding. hahaha

 

[SeVeReDiStOrTiOn]

Who buys a car without getting an insurance quote first...besides the OP lulz. Hell that's why I bought my 05 over a new stang there's no way i'm going to pay over $100 a month for insurance. But I guess he's too good for an older s197.

Should have went to court!

 

[Boozshey]

Well I had insurance, just not on me, so it was only a $10 fine if I mailed in the proof. Had I not had insurance I would have went to court for sure. But for $10 it wasn't worth my time. And the cop didn't give me a speeding ticket so I didn't want to argue with him at the scene...

 

[Dracconix]

Damn... I guess I should be happy that mine doesn't get parked in the garage.

Could of been a mouse. I just found a dead one under my hood. He made a nest under the manifold from the batter cover insulation. No telling what else I'll find under there when I take it off this weekend.

I'm glad you brought that up! I found the cause of the fire!

Its the oil driping from the bottom of the front bumper.

 

[TheKurgan]

It could be any combination with the wiring, damage when harness are made, Heat, damage installing, The battery will not gas they are sealed, but they will explode if over charged. Could be mice eating the wiring LOL

Yep, whilst sitting in his bed of tinder...

Those pics were taken before i installed the Saleen grill. Thanks for bringing up something that HAS NOTHING to do with the thread btw.


I spoke to the fire marshall today and he sent samples of the floor boards of the vehicle 3 days ago for testing, seems kind of late but what can i do it's his job not mine, all i can do is wait. He did tell me that the car was out of the secured lot and out to the common lot and that i could go pick it up at any time i wanted.

I'm amazed at all the turds in this thread that brought up things that have nothing to do with whats going on here, but then again this is an online forum just like the past forums i been on except for e90post, that's the only forum actually that people have grown up in. It's fine, i don't need to come to this thread every day and update you guys as to what happened since maybe it could of been an issue from ford that WE MAY ALL be facing once again. For those who care about this issue you can keep pming me and i will surely keep replying to your pms.

 

[FivePointOh]

Hopefully an admin can lock this up for me as i'm done here.

I can understand that you no longer want to follow this thread.

I think this thread should stay open. In the future there may be more to add from other members who made a search before posting up about their fire.

I'm glad David kept up with all of the off topic comments and made several deletes. I've read some "deleted" comments were darn right hurtfull and seemed of no help at all to the topic at hand. It's a better thread cleaned up and it has value in my view.

I'll watch this thread closer and do what I can to manage the "deletable" posts too.

 

[stkjock]

thread cleaned up AGAIN!

This thread should be fire starting ideas only.
