Glad you're ok! I've seen the results of gasoline gone awry before, and it is never pretty.

 

[TylerDowBryant]

that is so sad about that car, but I'm glad your ok BP!

 

[hankSRay]

Man that sucks, but glad you're ok Big Pop's.

 

[AnthonyD]

Wow! Sorry to hear BP - and glad you managed to avoid what could've been serious harm.

 

[Randracula]

Wow Sterling! I'm sorry about your car but very happy to hear that your OK.

 

[glockaxis]

Holy crap!! Glad you're ok. Was that out by PGA West? You'll have fun finding another classic.

 

[oddjob]

Happy to here you are ok BP! The car is a tragic loss (as are the clubs ) but as long as you are ok everything else can be replaced!

The Mazda Bongo is a van manufactured by Mazda of Japan.

Probably not avialable in blue dawn though

Glad you are ok BP, you family and your bigger family (knucklehead clan) would all be lost without you. Keep on gettin it on

that's amazing! glad you're OK BP

Damn BP...that was a sweet ride. As a muscle car enthusiast....I can sympathize.

Hopefully dealing with the insurance company won't be a pain in the ass.

 

[Big Poppa]

thanks everyone...Glock that is at the enterance to thermal airport...ALL of the fireman went ot run an errand and if they were there it would have been a very minor engine fire being as the fire station was les than one black away....it took at least 20 minutes for them to respond. That is what keeps simmering in me right now. My tax dollars were not at work

I think I am fairly lucky here boys...when it went it was really quick

 

[brasco68]

ALL of them went out to run an errand?? They don't leave a few behind at the station in case...oh I don't know.....they get an emergency call??

I would be simmering too Pops!

 

[Big Poppa]

HOw about the airport crew that drove a golf cart out to tell me there were no fireman..I asked "did you bring a fire extinguisher?" " Wow...we should have,,,,,be right back" If they had one it would have been ok too basicalleverything that could go wrong did except for me getting out

 

[brasco68]

As a taxpayer...they should at LEAST offer you an apology. It's scary how the emergency response system just broke down like that...

The guy in the golf cart....well I'm speechless.

Courtesy of four separate rural volunteer fire departments. It was a very small fire to begin with. First guy showed up 15 minutes later. In a pickup. The first fire truck came about five minutes after that. There's no point here.

I miss my getaway house in the country, though!

BP, glad to hear you're okay and got out of the car safely. Golf clubs and cars can be replaced, but a human life can't as each person is unique. I'm sure you'll find another classic, just glad to hear you're okay, thats got to be a scary situation.

Not only was that a sweet car, but a piece of history

Had a pretty nasty disaster with my 74 Z28 too, but not nearly that bad. Someone is restoring it now

The important thing is no one got hurt or worse, cars can be replaced.

Bad Car Day

Ok Having a nice Sunday here in the desert....finished practicing golf with PGA PRO Anthony Kim...Driving back to the hangar in the red 67 super sport convert I noticed a slight gas smell...I called Dan NOrton and said "I spell Gas in the super sport, could you scheck it out tommorow....2 miles later it catches fire ONE BLOCK from a fire station....


THe fireman are all out and it takes them 15 minutes to respond and it exploded and burned to a crisp....

THis is the car that I drove off in in the The Guitar Center Videos....

(Im sure someone has the link..if you do please post at least a still)

My super sport R.I.P



My golf clubs melted and I just got a new Scotty Cameron Putter Prototype that Scotty made for me personally (even had Big Poppa stamped in the back)

Lets see how good my insurance is....

Man to watch it burn and you know you can't do a damn thing sucks big time, Sorry Poppa, l'll buy a few more basses and you can get another.

 

[dkassenbrock]

Ouch...BP sorry about your loss...at least you got out alright. Don't forget to tell the insurance company about the $10k in the glove box...oh and all those BFR's in the trunk...what a shame! All kidding aside, though it was a beautiful car, we're all glad you made it out safely...see you next week. -Capt. Don
