My Silver Bullet went up in flames 😞

[2019CivicSi]

Yesterday a coworker’s 2015 Ford Edge ignited into flames while off and parked next to my Si. Now I’m just waiting for the insurance adjuster to confirm what I already know…she’s a total loss.
This has me wondering if anyone knows of a Sport Touring manual shift that’s available on the east coast Tri-State area (NY, CT, NJ) or even Pennsylvania? I know they’re difficult to find in manual transmission. If I can’t find one, I’ll seek another Si.

No words. So horrible.

Jeeze, You can't escape Fords reliability problems even if you buy a Honda.

The next time a passenger complains that I park miles from the entrance, I'll point them to this post.

I would be livid if this happened to me . There is a class action lawsuit against Ford for their hybrids spontaneously combusting. You and the Edge owner may want to look into getting in on that for some sort of additional reimbursement.

Exactly what I said yesterday

Damn that is some really bad luck, sorry to hear.

Telling my wife about she. She always teases me about parking so far away

In all seriousness, this is terrible. I hope it wasn't due to lack of maintenance on the Ford owner's part, or I'd be so pissed.

Here's the thing though. Where I work, I park on a huge empty lot that's literally a block away from the business. And there's no one around. After work there's some guy (usually in a pickup truck) parked right next to me. Hundreds of better spaces to park and they park right on top of me.

This pisses me off so much. I always park away from everyone but there's always one ass, usually in a giant truck, that could park anywhere, but they always park next to me.

Ouch. That must've been quite the fire to do that much damage to the cars around it. Any pics of the ford that started the fire?

That’s the 2015 Ford Edge to the right of my Si.

Sorry to read this

Always my worst fear. I wont park next to my coworker's Telluride for the same reason, and I avoid parking next to all EV's or even in the same row as them if I can
