Thanks guys, I really appreciate.

Another unfortunate point is that about two weeks before the accident I switched to another insurance company. Had the car covered, paid the policy cash but didn't have the contract in hand nor have a written value for the car.
So as of today I don't even know how much they will cover

I have a bad feeling I'm going to lose a load of money in addition to have lost my silver bullet. That sucks.

Finally I'm ready to post some pics. I feel stupid being emotional seeing them each time, the sentiment of being powerless is terrible.

A couple minutes after I understood the car was burning, trying to call 911 and calling for help around:


Another few minutes later, things get worse:


At this point it's been about 25 minutes and that's when I start to understand she's lost for ever:


Firemen on site, it's been more than half an hour, she's totally gone:


My guess so far is that only the engine block is worse salvaging. Heads are probably cracked or too stressed anyway (aluminum). Tranny gear set could be used as well. I haven't had access to the car but I guess it's all fu@$3d up
