This car is NOT a Ferrari... (FR-S/BRZ burning up on side of road) - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Moshpit37 · 08-11-2013, 09:00 AM

Just saw this on Facebook. Can't tell if it's an FR-S or BRZ due to all the flames. Hope this isn't anybody on here. But if it was, does anybody know the story as to what happened?

Demiurge · 08-11-2013, 09:09 AM

Should buff right out.

Mikem53 · 08-11-2013, 09:14 AM

Some realistic flame decals..

Global warming's a bitch.

Mad1723 · 08-11-2013, 09:23 AM

Burst in flames when it saw the 300 coming the other way!

ZionsWrath · 08-11-2013, 09:27 AM

Obviously DI failed

BANGER · 08-11-2013, 09:32 AM

Recall time?
Seriously though, wonder if the owner's a member here. Perhaps can tell us the story.

Anthony · 08-11-2013, 09:38 AM

It's probably a BRZ and found out about the turbo BRZ that's coming out soon.

TheRoadRunner · 08-11-2013, 09:42 AM

hope they're ok..

I don't want to incriminate anyone here, but rumor has it that this was the test mule for a certain e85 kit.

Fish Eagle · 08-11-2013, 09:51 AM

The angle of the car indicates that it rear-ended something else - likely, but dunno.

Irrespective, it's somebody's worst nightmare that's happened to them, and most of the a-holes posting above think that it OK to joke about that.

Well, I don't think it's OK. Shame on you.

I hope the occupants made it out in one piece, and that their insurance pays out.

And even though you guys joke about it, I really hope it never happens to you...

ZionsWrath · 08-11-2013, 09:54 AM

No, his front tires melted and possibly suspension collapsed. But he looks lowered so maybe he already had a rake.

Black smoke matches well with 'Raven'. Imagine how hard blue smoke would have been with Ultramarine or something.
