Hot Time At The Range

[fyimo]

I was at our outdoor range a while back and a guy's wife drove up to bring him something. While she was talking to him I looked back and their pickup truck was on fire. By the time the volunteer fire deppartment arrived the truck was total loss. I felt sorry for her because just she kept saying "I just drove that here" over and over.

That's a shame because that truck looks clean (from what i can tell from the picture)but thats what we all have insurance for i guess.

Happened to me once when a mechanic used the wrong gasket for a fuel line. Just drove it and it went up.

Well, at least the Arkansas River Valley Gun Club is getting a little bit of free publicity out of this ordeal.

With less than 6000 miles on it my 1983 F-250, 6.9 liter diesel caught fire 30 minutes after I parked it at work. It had my 1973 Ford American Road 11' camper mounted in the bed. It was a total loss with everything burned from the front seat forward. Both Ford and the insurance company felt it was a bad piece of wiring in the engine compartment. I'm lucky that the camper was not damaged because I still have the camper (now on an '86 F-250 diesel with 300,000 trouble free miles) and have visited every state in the US (except Hawaii) and every part of Canada. As I look back on the incident I think I'd always let a vehicle burn to the ground. If you stop the fire and try to repair the vehicle, I'll bet it would never be right and you'd never get the stink out of it.

Bummer!! Good thing there was nobody hurt and no Smiths left in it.That would suck big time..

My '86 Chevy K30 CUCV is silently weeping in my garage.



Glad no one was hurt.

When I read "hot time at the range" and that a guy's wife drove up, I heard music in my head sounding like "bow-chicka-bow-bow" and thoughts that went in a compeltely different direction from where this thread did.

Man where's your mind at. I'm 65 and I was a young pup compared to them. They were actually very nice people and he was out shooting and he must have been in his late 70's.

Ouch. That used to be a beautiful pickup. I hope there was insurance. I love old pickups.

Both you and her should be glad she was not in the vehicle. We can always replace another vehicle.

Glad to hear no one was hurt.
