Re: Fire!!!

Indeed it could have been much much worse. Those last two pics are downright scary.

Having a fire extinguisher on hand is certainly a good idea, but it's usefulness depends on the nature of the fire. In my case it probably wouldn't have done much good. My fire was caused by a short in the fuse box ...

Fire!!!

Just now, as I pulled up to my house, I smelled something burning. When I was getting out of the car I saw smoke coming out of the dash. I looked at the fusebox and saw one of the relays on fire. I tried to pull it out before it spread, but the plastic shell came off, leaving the burning innards. I ...

Re: What does this do? I need a new one...

It's a vacuum check valve for the power brakes. It is something you'd need a specific replacement for, since there are multiple hoses going to it, which are different sizes. You should be able to find a used spare fairly easily in a junkyard.

I got a (very blurry) picture of the Storm (since it was parked), but not the others.
