Not that it's ever a pleasure to see a burned RX-7, but there's something sort of fascinating about that kind of stuff.

Somebody torched an old Mitsubishi Galant in my old neighborhood in New Orleans about five years ago and before it was hauled away, it was interesting to see what burned or melted and what survived. It is also interesting to see "behind the scenes" of some parts that you otherwise never get to see. Like what the metal core and framework of the steering wheel looks like after all the plastic has melted off, or the metal frames of the seats without any upholstery or padding left, etc.

from what it looks like is that the front of the house burned so im guessing that the fc was inside the garage and caught fire with the house im sure thats what happened.

Insurance scam? maybe the owner found out how much it cost to do a rebuild and said CRAP!!! its gonna cost me how much!!!!!!!!!!!!! Screw this i am getting a 240sx now automatic non-lsd for the win!!

So he probably got a little $2400 check from the insurance company for a beat up s4 n/a that was probably worth $900
