Well today was alignment day for the roadrunner. After getting all new ball joint, tie rods, control arms and bushings for the roadrunner I took it out for a front end alignment to a very trusted place that have aligned many cars for my family. I got it done and it drove the best it’s ever drove everything was good and drive home was just fine. I parked it in the garage and walked away and about an hour later my sister smelled smoke and she opened the door to the garage and sure enough smoke was everywhere and so she ran and got me and I saw fire from underneath the car. My dad and brother came out and got the car In neutral and shoved it out into the driveway and hosed it down. I’m still in shock. Before anyone asks me, no I don’t know what caused the fire. I’m pretty sure it’s electrical because we hosed down what was left of the wiring harness and it was hissing really loud. It’s still the original wiring. Not sure what I’m going to do except call the insurance company and have them assess the damage, they’re more than likely going to total it. It’s really not all that bad. If I where to rebuild it I would need a new interior, wiring, check brake and fuel lines, check all the rubber and I’m probably going to have to pull the motor and check it out and do all of the other little odds and ends. Any other things I should look for or inspect or do before the inspection for the insurance company?
