One burned in the D years ago. I know a guy who lost his mint Shelby. I’d never store my cars other than in my garage.

----It can happen to anyone. The fire in the warehouse I used to rent was an electrical fire that turned out to have started in the wall. I had all the necessary extinguishers but wasn't there. The building was relatively new and well built. I lost three of my own vehicles and a bunch of memorabilia. Had no insurance on the cars but a lot of parts were saveable and saleable. My wife, Jan had a bunch of antiques stored in a closed off loft totally destroyed. Fire marshal said the temps inside were over 1600 degrees. He questioned me as if I lit a match but when I explained the lack of insurance on the cars he then took a deeper look and came up with the true scenario. I did have an umbrella policy that cost about $200 a year that saved my butt. Umbrella policies are important!.....Bill S

Or you may store in a concrete parking garage, like my sister in Minneapolis, and have a water main freeze and break and completely (over the roof) drown your 50k orig mile West Coast sourced Mustang GT that your brother bird dogged for you😭.

The fire I’m talking about was concrete.

WOW, your sister looks very familiar. I'm certain I have met her somewhere in the TC area.

Sorry to hear about the Mustang...

Do you drink beer and/or work in construction? She was a beer and spirits rep for a number of years, now co-owns a tool supply business w/our Dad

My 30 years of construction work, was driving a semi pulling an end dump trailer with sand, gravel, blacktop, if it fit in the trailer, I hauled it.

The tool supply may be where I've seen her.
No beer or spirits.
She like car shows ? I go to many of those locally.
