So for a few months now, my truck has been at Hoods due to me breaking the transmission I had just put in before shindig while autoXing. Figured while it was at Hoods, he could keep it for a bit and do some Code59 on it and figure out the tune and why the truck wants to go lean all the time.

Got a phone call early this morn from Hood with some bad news. My sy got destroyed in a fire that started in his detached garage where the truck was parked. I guess it was an electrical fire that sparked it from what the fire department said...but the fire was able to get big enough to take down a good portion of the garage and my truck with it before the fire department was able to get the fire out. Hood's Nova and full size chevy were damaged as well... the full size might be fixable.

Im kinda at a loss. Ive had the truck since 98 and basically have devoted 13 years of my life to these stupid things. At this point... i dont know if I should buy another truck or be done with this whole thing.

Ive always like Corvettes...and since Ian got his Lotus Elise, that thing is a ton of fun....man, i dont even want to think about this right now....

April fools is on me. The f*cking Mini Cooper broke yesterday....and now I get this today.

Yeah, I do know how to tune Code59, but im not a pro at it yet and since Hood gives me a ton of help, while the truck was there, I told him to go crazy on it.

This is the pic I got this morn... not sure if I want to see more...

That's the SGT you parted last year; I remember the blue tarp and I think I see the "X" in the steering wheel.

Wow Adam, I hope this isn't true, and that you and Hood are just yanking our chains. A fire is one of my biggest fears.

Geez, he just lost his truck and you guys are calling him a liar. Adam is a esteemed member of this place, and should be given the benefit of the doubt. Fires can happen on any day of the year, even April 1.

Adam doesn't even have a sense of humor to be able to pull a April Fools joke

Nah, that POS is sitting at Harmon's now and still trying to decide its fate. Still has some salvagable parts on it.

and it never had a blue tarp on it.... i actually felt sorry for it and put a real cover on it while tearing the life outta it.

I was thinking the same thing, plus can't really make out the pillar pod shown in the other pic. On the other hand, I didn't really wanna comment in case it really did burn.

Re: lost my syclone....

I wish I was joking. Back story:

We bought another horse about 3 weeks ago (see horse below) and had been keeping him at a friend's house until I got more fence up at the house to let him out on the East pasture at our place (about 12 acres). I decide to run the electric fence box off the panel from the garage. My dad goes over this morning (early) to use the lift in the garage, and an hour later, my brother calls and says my garage is on fire. Fire Dept. is already there when I get there......pretty much a total loss.

We just built a house in June and had used a lot of old wood in the house (family barn we tore down from 1865, planed the wood, and put it in the house). I was storing the unused stuff in the garage (it's 146 year old southern heart pine), so it burnt like cardboard. Fire was so hot, the Fire Dept. caught hell getting it out.

Damage:

- Adam's Sy - total loss
- My Sy - melted bed cladding and tonneau
- Chevy - melted grille and bumper trim and water damage
- Nova - melted wiring and water damage

I'll try to get some pics asap, but I really just came in the house to post a report for the group.

I might have a pic of the radio from one of the Florida meets. I thought is had a gauge or some type of controller in it. I hope for his sake it didn't burn though......
