Anyone know where/when/why/who? (assuming these pictures are actually recent -- I always take reddit stuff with a grain of salt)

It's on Instagram as well. There's no information on it there either. I haven't seen this one before. So I'm thinking it's new.

Front license plate should narrow down where it was slightly. Not being able to read it, lol. Just that it had one.

Agreed. Caldwell, ID. Such a shame.

I would rather have one set of updated fuel lines, injector seals, and a modern fuel pump than a OE setup with a built in halon system.

In other words, a fire extinguisher can only mitigate the damage and that's best case scenario. Ounce of prevention comes to mind.

Every year the top speed stats lose 10mph. In 2025 the top speed will be about 60mph.

Very sorry to hear about this loss. Glad no one was hurt (according to the news report).

While contact information might be somewhat out of date (March 2006), the Owners Directory (http://www.citizenkidd.com/dod/pages/dod.aspx) shows only one VIN in Caldwell, ID (http://www.citizenkidd.com/dmc/pages/vinview_totals_spec.aspx?vinstart=113) as 4289 (http://www.citizenkidd.com/DMC/pages/vinview_disp.aspx?start=4289).
