Reply to "Pantera # 4903 - Totalled by Ins Co - Sold to Salvage Co"

Well I was trying to sell it and the new owner was coming for a test drive, so I was driving the car to the gas station to fill it up for him. Well at the stop light right before the gas station the car just caught on fire. I got out and emptied my fire extinguisher on it, even burned the back of my hands while doing so. But the fire just kept on a going. A cop stopped and got a great big huge fire extinguisher out of his trunk and emptied that on the car and it just kept on a burning. Finaly a fire truck came and housed the car down in a flood of water. That finaly put the fire out. Not long after the new owner, who is one hell of a nice guy, and was on his way to pick up the car, saw it sitting there all burnt and wet and with fire extinguisher powder all over it. I thought for sure, he would just look at the car and say "no deal" and just drive away. But he got out and looked the car over, got underneath it and did a real though examination, and he still wanted the car.
But I told him it wasn't fair to him, so I contacted the insurance company like you are supposed to do. Then I had to find someone who would be willing to estimate the repairs, and I finaly did. Then I submitted it to the insurance company and they said it was too much, and I said no it wasn't and we argued for awhile, like a half month. I even went to a lawyer and he read over my policy and he said " you are pretty well screwed" and I kept a fighting cause I really wanted to save the car, but no matter what the insurance company was afraid that the car would be fixed and something would go wrong with it and I would die or something, so they got the car.
The new owner was pretty upset and I can't say that I blame him one bit. He didn't even shoot me or nothing even though no one would have blame him if he did. He even comes to this forum trying to find a Pantera, he is OnebadGTS. I hope someone will help him find another GTS Pantera to buy, cause he really wants one bad. Please if any of you guys run across, one, let ONEBADGTS know.
