is that because of the smoke, or did the flames actually come into the cabin? cause if nothing is burnt from the hvac, i have a friend that needs some stuff if you wanna make a couple bucks.

so i'm assuming your insurance will cover it? are you gonna get a new 09, or one of the old 05-06 models? i reeeaaaally like the rs 4.0's.

Blue = oil
