Tragic News - Puresports burns in fire

I'm sad to report that Puresports (formerly SPD), in Ramona California has burned in a fire. I don't know many details but all the shop equipment and cars parked inside were lost. Including the cars of several of my friends.

The owner, Seth, is one of the nicest guys I know and it's a shame to see this happen. This is a huge loss to the owner, employees and RX7 community as a whole. Let's give them our support.

My car left the shop two weeks ago. (They did a great job too)

I feel very sorry for all of the owners of those cars. Was there any type of insurance that is going to cover the loss for Seth or any of the owners? Does anyone know the exact cause of the fire?

It seems the fire was started by an electrical fault in the wiring in the wall of the building. This would indicate that the building owner (landlord) is responsible. I'm sure Seth, the landlord and most of the car owners have insurance so it'll all get straightened out eventually.

I'm sure it will be tough for some vehicle owners to prove the value of their vehicles. There were $3000 blue book FCs in there with $20K in mods.

That's true. Losing a car like that when it's older with a lot of mods can end up really biting you in the ***. I hope that the car owners don't get screwed over by their insurance companies too bad.

Wow, that's professional. What did Seth ever do to YOU that warrants such a immature comment? We'll all have a good laugh if your business burns.

Karma police have there eye on me.....no ****, who do you think sent them
I help people and have nothing but friends, none of which I have shook hands on a deal and backed out of. Find one mo fo with a bad thing to say about me, and I will give ya 20 spot. Seth is a scum bag, he got what was comming to him. Too bad for the innocent car owners, they did nothing wrong. But as for SPD AKA Puresports, they are liars......plain and simple. And the owe money out the ***. If you need more info look SPD on the better business bureau website. Anyone dealing with those scammers are idiots. Hate to point it out but how would you feel if your car was burn and you had to find out on a forum........Sorry to hear your luck bradd15, but i goes to show the people you are dealing with if you find out your car is toast on the forum..........what a ******* joke. They owe money and LIE about filling for bankruptcy, glad to see they are gone. Sucks for the "bill collectors" I dought they will ever see the cash they are owed. SPD burn in hell., you deserve it.

So, if your business burned, you'd be able to contact all of your customers who were effected, because you keep all of your business records including all of your customers names, phone numbers, etc at home or another location "just in case," right?

Come on, now isn't the time to bash the guy. You're a competing business who is probably riddled with glee right now, hoping to cash in on this guy's loss. VERY professional. . . . .

You know Seth better than I do, huh? Still, it makes you look VERY bad to be pissing in the ashes of this deal. Feel good about it if you will, but keep your feelings of rejoice to yourself.

So do the people that DO own www.rotaryracing.com know that you're representing them in such an unflattering manner?

wheres the troll police now?

MY car was in that fire. I dont appreciate a little 25 year old who knows nothing of this situation coming in and bagging his immature internet forum comment which i am sure you wouldnt say to anyone in person.

Please no one fuel his fire, you are a bad person to representing anyone indeed.
