any idea why it burnt to a crisp?

I leased the vehicle and put 8k on it , insurance says its a loss but does this mean I'm out my 8k?

also should I flip out on Toyota and tell them they owe me a car? its kind of ridiculous I had the oil change less than a thousand miles before and it was still practically brand new ..

any help would be great everyone thank you so much
That's too damn bad ...... glad you got out of it before it went up in flames.

So, what was going on before it burst into flames ...... temp gauge reading .... smell of fuel .....??

As @Tcoat asked ....... any modifications .....??

To cause and feed a fire like that, I would guess the engine suffered a massive fuel leak somewhere after the HPFP ...... and it was fed by the HPFP .....
