I agree with buk. With all that in there I think I would have sprung for a sprinkler system.

What gets me the most is he's worried about a 300ZX when there's a Lotus and Lambo inside there.

I just don't get it. Well...actually he did say those were his dad's so being the spoiled little ---- he is, he's only worried about his own ----.

He's like, ---- dad my toys are in there even though they're worth less.

1. Nobody who had access/owned those cars would ever do that
2. Insurance will probably cover whatever policy they had on the car, not factoring inflation due to it being a classic
3. Come on dude. Classic Lambo and Lotus?

my friend's father's shop burned down with all his tools and his 68 roadrunner in it. The poor car was running just fine at the time, but it was up on blocks with the wheels off inside the shop, and by the time he got there the shop was fully engulfed in flames. The guy loved that car and was running in and out just trying to get wheels on to push it out while the firemen just watched it burn down b/c they said it was too dangerous to go inside from the structural damage. He saved the engine, car was unsalvageable, but every aluminum part on the engine was melted. Thankfully most of it was cast iron. They are actually going to start tearing that engine down in the next couple weeks to see if its rebuildable because they want to put it in a 72 charger he just got. Twin turbo on they way ;)

Yes it does not take much to melt aluminum. You would be suprised how hot a structure fire will get. Up in the 1000 of degrees.
