Default R.I.P. my love *Updated w/pic* *Updated Again*

Today is a sad today, I am no longer the owner of an 86 5.0L, I was drivng across a dirt field when my gas tank caught fire, I tried what I could to stop the fire but it was hopeless, also not pretty, sorry no pictures, too painful

peace.....

if you go through insurance, they might make you take a polygraph on that one man, get a witness or something

^ put pennies between your toes, i've heard myths about that affecting the polygraph! LOl thats ridiculus, do they really make you take a poly for a fire ins. claim, or does the middle of a field thing set off a red flag?

so, yeah the source was the seal that goes between the filler neck and the gas tank, must've leaked and caught fire on the exhaust [:@] and I was driving on a dirt road by a field, i should explain, by the time I noticed the fire I was already on pavement in the parking lot of a Toys 'R Us

I have NEVER heard of an insurance company making you take a poly test for a insurance claim for a 1986 mustang [&:]

I dont know where you live but they dont do that sh*t in NJ....especially for a 86 Mustang that blue book is prob like 2K for it.... if that!
