None of your fucking business
Got a call today that there was a small fire at my storage unit today... The fire wasn't near my unit or even on the same floor but the sprinkler system didn't care. :icon_evil

I stopped by this evening but they weren't letting people in until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. Apparently they couldn't turn the system off for 45 fucking minutes...

I'm hoping for the best but I'm thinking I lost a full set of ttr recaro interior, a full set of 92 black leather seats, full shadow gray interior plus carpets. A couple of friends had parts stored there too. Their insurance coverage should help but its not easy finding these parts...:cry:

Holy crap, Nate. :( That sucks on so many levels! Right on, it's not about the money, it's about the parts! Make sure they know that those parts are nearly irreplaceable, and make sure you get the combined worth when all is said and done!

WTF? Damn Nate. I'm glad I didn't keep some of my stuff there. Sounds like you have a water logged pair of rare seats that will be full of mildew. aka garbage.

Hope insurance covers it.

See you tomorrow.

Yep, fixable... but he souldn't have to foot the bill.

Hell, my interior has been soaked pretty bad before and it doesn't show it (random ass downpour without clouds above me and I was stuck at a light with the targa off laughing as I got drenched)

People were looking at me, it was one of those laugh or cry moments...so I started laughing.

Made my turn (FINALLY), pulled into a parking lot of a tire place and all the guys were laughing at me while I threw the top back on. Drive home sucked after that as the windows instantly fogged up (as well as the next morning, ugh).

Thankfully the crazy ass Texas weather decided to be bright and sunny the next day so I left the windows open to dry it out.

The interior isn't a loss..

I remember getting home after a long day of work, having to pee. As I ran inside to pee I thought "I better go get the top back on the car". I pee, then proceed to fall asleep. I wake up the next morning to the sound of rain on the roof of the house.. but not the car, as I go out and discover standing water inside of it.

Removed and cleaned and let sundry, no problems with smells!


BUT, tell them it's ruined, get max dollar for the Reccaros, and then sell to me cheap, kthnx.

I'll find out how bad everything is tomorrow, I'm thinking they may be salvagable or at worst the fabric could be reused to patch another set. I'm more pissed about the shadow gray door panels and dash...

It's only a dash and door panels. You can always get a Burgundy or Blue dash and paint it grey.
