My boy lost his '53 to a fire!

has the pics on the front page. Real sad story. I helped him find the car here on the HAMB. Silver lining is that if his car had not been sitting where it was, the asshole drunk driver would have killed a bunch of people instead of killing his sport coupe.

 

Sorry for the loss. Glad everyone was okay. Lets kill the drunk!!!

 

Dam that sucks
I hope you can get enough out of that drunks insurance to pay for another one

 

did this happened a few weeks ago??? I remember hearing about it and the week after that incident there was a stabbing in venice...its crazy! glad your boy is ok...

 

What a shame. Drunk drivers have no soul....

Glad everyone came out ok, poor car took one for the team...

 

it was last week. Maybe 2 weeks ago. No insurance so far. The guy was out on bail.

 

Well, if Karma says you gotta lose a car, that's sure an honorable way for it to die. Still a tough loss, though.

Drunk drivers should be put in jail, my mother in law got a dwi and she still drinks and drives.

 

Sorry for your loss. Just be glad he's ok.And with that note Try to buy him a new car Maybe a 54 or 55 . But seriously I hope that never happens to me. I'd end up in jail for murder.

 

Hard to lose your ride but he has his life and family and thats a blessing for sure!

 

Any insurance on the Chevy?

 

Sorry to here about the loss. Maybe now he will do all the custom work that he always wanted to do. It is hard to do these things when your just having fun driving the car daily. the Same sort of thing happend to me and now im doing all that bitchen stuff. Its sad but you can turn it in to a good thing. Have him keep in touch with me and my progress. It can be easy to relate to someone who has been there and motivating too....good luck with the insurance, it can be a bitch....................

 

UNFUCKING REAL!!! What a loss!! I'm surprised nobody beat up the drunk RETARD!!

 

sucks about the car, but glad to hear everyone is ok. that front tire and wheel looks like it got through it somehow

 

i would hunt that sucka down!!!!!!

 

Thats horrible! Atleast your boy is ok.

 

damn, that sucks. where did that happen?

 

that sucks big time, nice rooflines on those sport coupes.

 

lots of desert out here off the 10! BIG BUMMER.

 

That picture of him standing there with his hands over his face kills me. I can't even imagine how much that must suck, watching your car burn down.

It was a really fucking nice '53, too.

Looks like a total loss.

what a shame

Atleast your son is okay! Sorry to hear about the '53. But you should be able to rebuild her. It will give you and your son a lot of fun memories!

 

Man that plain sucks! Pity the asshole driver didn't catch fire with the alcohol he'd been drinking....
Glad your boys OK though.

Badly damaged cars can be rebuilt,damaged lives on the other hand..........

 

My buddy lost his Hudson the same way, never got a dime out of the sorry S.O.B. either. Sometimes it feels like there's no justice in the world.

 

At least he can try to rebuild her.

If the drunk driver had hit the people...well, if that's what it did to the car I can't imagine what could have happened. No rebuilding them...

 

guy will probably get a slap on the wrist and be out drinking and driving again, some guy on speeders last night,14 DUI's!! wonder how many people's lives he endangered in the course of those. The court system is hopeless.

 

Damn shame, but glad nobody was hurt and hopefully the drunk will get what should be coming to him and pay for everything.

 

x2!

 

Glad nobody was hurt.

Laws are too lax for drunk drivers. Knew a guy a few years back that probably had half a dozen dwi's. Judge said "you can only drive for work." So the drunk idiot drove his dump truck everywhere.

 

iv dodged a couple people that have pulled out from driveways and side roads without lookin in my coupe.

Fuckin idiots

 

Damn, sorry for the loss. At least everyone is ok. Freekin drunk driver!!!
