Scenes of Horror!!

On a whim, I decided to check out an auction site that my shop uses and looked up BRZ and FR-S....

I hope the owners of theses cars are okay, but daaaaamnnnn.

mine is in the shop with front-end damage right now. Luckily it's nothing near as bad as any of those pics, but it still made me cringe when I saw it!

THe burnt out one was a guy driving home after a fuel pump swap at the dealer. Think there is any chance the reattached the fuel line incorrectly?

I know right! I posted the worst ones. One had front end, but both airbags blew... totaled. If it went for a good price, I'd love to grab it for parts, lol....

It's hard to say for sure but that looks like it's a different one. More of the steering column left on this one and that's an unbelievable amount of rust for just one week.

Do we have a second BRZ fire?

Man, I'd love to have the white one. Wonder how much it would sell for whole. I'm going to hug my car when I get home.

Any one notice they are all FRS'? Minus the one that caught fire, we know (if its the same) its a BRZ.

Ha ha, very funny.

Seriously though, look at the VIN pic. Some of that rust certainly looks like more than just surface rust, that takes more than a week to set in.
