Wow! That sucks.



Investigators call the fire a total lost (loss?). The fire destroyed the main showroom of the auto dealership along with dozens and dozens of cars and trucks.

There were a line of XLTs in the front of the building that were REALLY close to the fire, about 5 cars in the showroom (including a new Black Platinum that they got just last week). I've sat in every F-150 that got burned

Ugh, just found out that there were numerous vehicles in the service department that were lost. I hope those folks wanted new cars!

@Roadie - the sales guy at our dealership has been pretty awesome. If not for him, I probably would not have ordered this truck so soon and not from this dealership. All of those guys out of work...

More photos of the fire damage from friends and the news. Quite possibly the first pictures of burned 2015 Ford F-150s ever?
