So what its just a stupid car,not a life.When bad things happen like this it sould make us realize material things mean nothing,only family and friends can't be replaced.

No one was suggesting that human lives are worthless. However, the article revolves, as does this website around cars. Therefore the article is about cars. Hell, we can turn on the news everyday and hear about how someone in the world has died throuhg either the power of nature, or some gun toiting idiot.

Both manufacturers will be happy to replace them for him courtesy of his insurance company.

Damn...the only thing left of the Ferrari was the muffler! If he didn't have the muffler imagine this guy trying to prove it to the insurance company that the entire car just evaporated !

I live in Irvine right where the fire started by arson last sunday night and we still have smoke and can't open the windows and I keep coughing :(

But, I watched a guy on the news talk about how he had just finished restoring a '59 T-Bird two weeks ago and he couldn't get the car out and it burned up in Modjeska Canyon :(

Poor guy. Just glad he's all right.
I currently live in Foothill Ranch in Irvine, CA where the fire nearly destroyed my house.
But because of the brave California firefighters, I'm fine. Thanks!

Hopefully none of his family got hurt...
but it looks like he's so rich and should have paid some people to drive those cars off to save them from the fire

I just saw a guy from the Modjeska Canyon area on the news standing next to his home and Lexus LS430, all were burnt beyond recognition.

The Ferrari is aluminum, the Porsche is steel. Aluminum has a lower melting point than steel does, low enough to melt into a pool of aluminum in this fire!
