I wonder if the owner would be covered by insurance being a natural Volcano disaster?
They would be covered by fire though... And technically it could be argued that the car caught fire. ![]() |

Misread title as “sad end for mustang” and was expecting an article announcing the discontinuation of the mustang altogether as Ford tightens it’s belt on “no passenger car” policy

Thousands of years from now archaeologists will dig it up and use it as an example of ancient combustable engines of the past.

His facebook page documents the unfolding tragedy including the loss of his home and he has now also a Go fund Me page that those wanting help him can donate to.

Note the facebook link I provided probably won't work unless you have a facebook account that you open before clicking on it; otherwise search for Michael W Hale Hawaii in facebook.
