this is harris again, I just saw the video, andseriously, i wanted to turn it off. This was by far the biggest fire I hae ever seen on a vehicle, and I am very thankful that everyone was ok. I really think that this was probably the saddest thing I have ever seen. I will definetely be missed. Britt, you need to see this video.

Also, the gay *** news is blowing this way out of proportion saying the driver was going extremely fast, and the gas tank caught on fire. The news also said that the driver (Joe), also is notorious for blowing up cars and being a dangerous driver. This is not true, and I feel very bad for Jow.

Also, this just happened tonight, approx. 3 hours ago.

JOe, if you read this before I get a hold of you, let me know if you are interested in a Carrera GT, because I talked to Pops and he said we can help you get one quick. I am so sorry man, and know matter what you get, it will be badarse, but I will be there for ya man, so just let me know. I think you would love a Carrera GT. I mean, most cars won't top the sound and looks that your old "SICK" Lamborghini VTSC had, but that GT is the first car I have ever heard that is like a Formula One Car! And it looks pretty good and goes like hell too .

Hope to talk to you soon, miss ya man.

-Harris

(ps)- Still in shock!

I had a VT '99 Lambo.... it was cool... but not reliable. I got smart the hard way- after 3 broken bown Italian exotics.

Wow. Wow. I can't imagine. Sorry it happened to such a rare beast. And Britt, great job putting a dream list together, something for all of us to strive for, but not under the same circumstances.

Thanks for the support guys... I know Joe will appreciate it. I will get him to check this thread and feel the love. If I know Joe like I think I do he probably alread has a line on a new car already.

He is a man for the extreme and I would love for him to get a CGT but he is not really a Porsche guy. Being very passionate and shooting from the hip he really is more of an Italian-type but we will soon know.

More importantly is that he had the wits to keep anyone from getting injured or killed in this incident. He is the closest thing I have to a brother and his wife and kids are very precious.

I also remember that car from the "Tail of the Hooters Girl"... Like anybody could ever forget that car? Glad to hear you guys are alright. The good thing is that the car can be replaced, have fun with that.

Harris, I would be interested in seeing the video. Try to bring it to the GTG this Saturday. Is Joe still going to make it?
