Update:

Car is going in on monday to get an insurance estimate from when it was sideswiped a about a month ago. So car may be going into the shop as soon as next week. Needs new rear driver door and resprayed rear bumper. Then its getting the motor pulled yet again to get my 1st gear swapped out... and then it should be just about perfect...

Sidenote: maybe adding a 4d e30 to my collection on sunday.

 

Update car goes into shop on tuesday to have body work done and well as some new paint.
Also added an E30 to my collection so ill start cleaning that up probably next week after i finish up my first round of tests

SAD DAY....
last night was int greeley for an event (2hrs from my house) get out around 11pm walk out to car starts fine make my way through town when my headlights and all power goes out for a second...(thats weird then everything back to normal. pull up to a red light check all gauges confused on what happened everything is normal no lights or anything light turns green I get into first, second lights go out all lights dim car shuts off no power steering manage to pull off.... Panic a little no lights, bad battery, 2hrs from home.

Sit there for a moment thinking, when i see SMOKE POURING from under the hood, what the hell did i blow my coolant sensor and drain my coolant while i was parked???

pop hood to flames shooting out a bunch of lines on fire. take off nice dress shirt start trying to put it out cant run to the car grab half a water bottle i was drinking does nothing. dont have anything to put it out all cars just driving by smoke every where. (two options stand here and watch her burn (HELL NO) look around an see random chunks of ice and snow from a couple days ago guess they survived in the shape. Start running back and forth trowing snow on the engine ITS WORKING. keep doing it mustang pulls over 4 girls get out with water bottles dump then on help me throw snow. Fire 90% out.

One flame left but its at the bottom of the engine!! can reach it try to reach my hand and push snow cant everything still hot, skidplate on bottom blocking everything pull out grills and try to get at it that way.

POLICE show up what wrong MY CAR IS ON FIRE! he ask did it over heat, out of coolant, girls say NO! FIRE!, he sys fire-fire? runs to the car and grabs a fire extinguisher gets it out... Finally body is good no out side burns besides what happened in the bay, girls ask if im from near by say no from out of town, then they tell me car attracts attention someone may have *&^%ed with the my car while i was at the show(i parked far back to be away from every one; cant believe it still freaking out and coughing from the smoke) Call my dad at 12am, nothing we can do, he says if some one did something to your car it was for a reason and they may be planning on taking it. Extremely upset wit everything that happened have a break down on the phone. So i have to find a place to spend the night, dad will be here early in the morning to get the car with a truck and trailer.

(event was Miss Colorado Pageant (gf was competing she is staying in town so i get to spend the night in her parents hotel room on the couch)

Go to sleep at 2 wake up at 6am and start calling uhauls to find a trailer, get one get car on trailer 2hrs later im back in golden (where i go to school 1.5hrs from where this happened) car is back home with my dad and mechanic who are tearing it apart as we speak. goal is to have it back up by the end of the week pending on how bad it is, if its to bad i will swap plates and insurance to the e30 and drive that till i get money to fix the audi in the spring/summer.

Hell of a night sorry for long read.

Side note I have facelift tails sitting in the passenger seat waiting to go on..
