R.I.P. Vitz RS v2.0

[Treyz]

It's been a long time since I've posted on here (pretty much since I went back to stock) .. Well last night I forcefully had to say goodbye to my second Yaris (first one was traded back in for this one).

I was driving home and noticed that my fogs had stopped working about a mile and a half down the road from my job. As I pull towards the expressway, I notice a smell and it def. was electrical and sure enough when i look up, I noticed some black smoke billowing from under my hood *oh fuck*. I pull into the park and ride and when I get out of my car, I popped open the hood to where the smoke was. I knew it had to have been coming from the fuse box and sure enough, there was the box being melted by flames.

I didn't have my extinguisher (took it out years ago) so up in flames it went and 911 I called.

What it used to look like before it went back to stock.

And the aftermath of last night

Gonna miss it. Glad to say I'm okay and glad I notice shit right away.

Only things of value that were completely incinerated were my PSP with all of my music, my spare glasses and DJ Domo.

Somehow my craftsman tools did not melt, my carbon fiber Ray-Bans (case was melted) and my Canon DSLR body and 2 lenses made it undamaged, but the camera had water damage. Drying it out to see what happens.

Have full coverage so I have a rental in the meantime.
