johnceggleston Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 it should bring a priemium price at the shredder, since so much of the pesky plastic and fabric is gone. just quality metal. do the air bags explode in a fire like that???

JT95 Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 I used to dig around at the salvage yards a lot when I was in high school. I was always perplexed how so many newer cars caught on fire and burned to a crisp. Then someone explained to me that if you can't make the payments on your car, you torch it.

idosubaru Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 i've seen uglier paint jobs. leaving an oil cap off 'can' (not saying always) cause this as well (ask a firefighter), so there are some legit causes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbrand Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Also, it is said, when the gasoline waws refourulated with an adfditive (MMT or the new oxygenated fuels I dont remeber) back in the mid 90's then it attacked many rubber fuel componenets and there seemed to be a larger numer of car fires, esp in "older" cars at the time. could hardly make a run of over a hundered miles or so without seeing a car fire or fresh shell by side of road.

bheinen74 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 there is/was a forester in the Des Moines, IA Wrench N go that looked the same, but it was a different color on the back. Think the back shocks were all the were salvageable on that one. Looks like a similar fire to this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
