Jesus Tom, I commend you for manning up to your screw up but Jesus!?!?

Glad you and your buddy didn't get hurt.


This reminds me of the LSE dyno day from a year or so ago where the guy with the red 1g pulls up hops out of his car and says "Hi, my car is on fire" we laughed and then realized he was serious. Similar sort of issue, leaking oil feed line.

Fucking yahoo's with shooting oil at hot exhaust manifolds...



Sorry to see your car caught fire Tom, hopefully most of it is okay.

Someone should make a sweet owned pic of that 3rd one you posted, it would be tradition with the random pics of the old schoolers doing dumb stuff/bad situations.

You'll look back on this and laugh later, glad you are fine.

A simple caption of "This is why I'm hot" would do wonders for that pic.

Last year at Fun Ford Weekend in Dallas some guys were having fuel line issues with a Cobra. After thinking they had fixed the leak they left the Texas Motorplex and went out on the highway to make a couple of quick pulls to check it out. While in the middle of a high speed pull the fuel line spewed fuel all over the engine compartment and the car burst into flames. Before they could get the car stopped the fire had engulfed the car. The driver and the passenger didn't make it.

When dealing with flamable fluids in your car, don't cut corners.

Always, and I mean ALWAYS keep an extinguisher with you. They're ~$10-15 bucks and it could save your car, or your life.

You were lucky, count your blessings.


















Oh yeah, you gotz to be a stuuuuupid mother fucker to use rubber hose to feed a turbo.

I think the stock fuel lines would have likely burned and probebly destroyed everything. Luckly i have SS Braided lines that looked to be unharmed.
I and a lot of the people i hang out with used to think it was rice to have a fire extinguisher in the car, pretty much every one of my friends went out and bought one the day after this happened.

yeah i was pretty stupid, it wasnt mainly because i used a rubber hose to to the oil feed line, but more-so that i didnt yank hard on the line to make sure it was secure.

I was going to have my girl friend get in a bikini and pose in front of the car and put the same "This is why im hot" caption, but shes a little shy.

Maybe because she's a boy?


That cobra driver in texas should have turned off the car to shut off the fuel pump(s).
