My dads 65 Corsa 140 convertible with power top and tinted glass.
My 1965 Corsa turbo coupe. I bought this in high school in 1979. Restored to seniors division at 2002 Corsa National. Driven very little since.

Three of my Four Corvairs might not make it through the day

#pipelinefire started by a homeless person burning his toilet paper.
Three of my Corvairs are garaged at our second home adjacent to the fire. If you are the praying type, please pray for everyone's property and for the safety of the people working this fire. It's not looking good...

Hey guys,
The fire came very close. I really thought this one was going to get us. The previous major fire (6 weeks ago) hit just north of here and this one was positioned to bear straight down on us, based on origination location and wind direction.
The quick action of the few firefighters available to get on this fire (50 mph winds make burning move FAST) really save the house and Corvairs. Heroes!
Anyways, flash flooding will be the next hurdle as our annual "monsoon" has will is forecast to arrive soon and runoff does not slow down on scorched mountain slopes!
Cheers, Mike

Good News!!! I believe you're inside the rectangle.
Some folks just north of you were not so fortunate.

I met a couple of guys a few weeks ago who parachute into these fires to help fight them. Amazing what they are willing to do.
