That sucks. Hopefully they are well insured. Judging from the pictures, I’m guessing nothing but parts cars now.

Ouch, maybe it's time for all of us to make sure we have enough coverage on our cars....

I'm sure the insurance is small consolation. The cars are irreplaceable.

God, that was an inferno, I wonder what the cause was?

Fireproofing is important.

For a fire that hot, there had to be lots of flammables stored there. Probably paints, reducers, lacquer thinner,etc..

Almost as bad as that movie car fire in the rental thread. That was really sad!
