So my car just exploded. That happened.

I has a sad, RS...

So my boss comes running into the office yelling that my car is on fire.

I go outside and there's a bike in the middle of the road in flames and so is the back of my car. Looks like he hit the back of my PARKED CAR pretty hard and everything exploded. I opened the passenger door and my boss had a fire extinguisher but by then, nothing we could do.

Fuck.

Damn...sorry about your GTI...

what happened to the biker?

SumAznGuy 08-07-2015 09:45 AM

Sorry to hear that about your car.
Is the bike guy ok?

Ronin 08-07-2015 09:45 AM

By the time I got outside, he was down to his underwear and badly burned. Looked like his gear either burned off or he tossed it but his back was not in good shape.

What the fuck.

That's one hell of a freak accident. Sorry to hear dude.

Hope the biker is okay. Don't stress man, insurance will take care of you, that's why it's there.

I live right there. I'll ride by and give my condolences :(

SkinnyPupp 08-07-2015 09:56 AM

I can't even fathom how a bike can hit a parked car on a small side road like that... like what? :fulloffuck:

68style 08-07-2015 09:59 AM

Did you buy replacement insurance?

If so, sweet! New GTI!

underscore 08-07-2015 09:59 AM

^ let alone hard enough to light it on fire.

melloman 08-07-2015 09:59 AM

:fulloffuck:

How does the motorcycle end up in the middle of the road if he crashed into the back of your car... what in the fuck?!

ps. Could see the smoke from my office over on Simpson.

Since mine is 2011, wouldn't they try to find me the same car?

There's no way they're finding another 2011 with 19k on it at the price I got it...

trollguy 08-07-2015 10:10 AM

yikes, hopefully the guy is okay.

Doubtful you have a replacement cost policy based on the year of the car. You may have limited depreciation which will help with ICBC's pay out values. They will try to pay you what the market value of the car is considering all factors(mileage, condition, rarity, etc)

Sorry to hear about this random crazy incident. Hope the biker recovers fully and you get paid out nicely for your car.

E.D.C.5 08-07-2015 10:31 AM

holy shit balls! you dont see that everyday. im sorry to hear about your GTI tho.

evlee 08-07-2015 10:39 AM

I saw the aftermath, I hope the rider gets a speedy recovery, I was told by one of the witnesses that the rider could have been transporting a fuel can by cradling it in front.

twitchyzero 08-07-2015 10:39 AM

sorry to see
good thing a car is replaceable...0 fucks were given about the biker's condition in the initial post lol

boostfever 08-07-2015 10:40 AM

Sorry to hear about your car!

capt_slo 08-07-2015 10:41 AM

That really sucks. Wonder what caused him to do that

jpark 08-07-2015 10:52 AM

god damn how does that even happen

pinn3r 08-07-2015 10:57 AM

:pokerface: that's some shit...

My condolences

dared3vil0 08-07-2015 11:11 AM

Wait the rider was seriously burnt? Assuming his bike landed like that and wasn't moved you have to wonder how he wasn't thrown clear of the flames... Unless he was on fire when he hit your car, which would explain how both caught on fire... I don't even...
