Saw a car burn to the ground

I was on my way to work tonight and when I got in the parking lot, there's a kia sedonna minivan with 20 foot flames shooting out of it.  :flame: A cop hit his lights on behind me on my way there and I thought I was getting a ticket, guess not!  The glass was all melted, the tires melted, nothing left of the interior but the steering wheel and seat frames.  The only thing I was thinking about was how I'd be bawling like a baby if it had been my car :giggle: .

I didn't see the car burn, but I did see that aftermath of an '87 Tbird burn to the ground. Gave me chills, because the car resembled my Cougar WAY too much.

A couple years ago I was going to work on the highway and saw a big column of smoke rising over the hills not too far ahead. Didn't know what it was but I soon found out- on the other side of the highway there was a car burning like crazy, completely engulfed in flames. First time I've ever seen a car actually burning!

Also, once while at work I went to burger king on my lunch break and there was a PT cruiser in the parking lot there that had suffered from an engine fire....at the time this was only about a month or two after they had gone on sale.

Yeah awhile back in my old nieghbor hood i watched a nieghbors garage burn......with his Mn12 tbird in it, i laughed. He was a total dick and was also knowen through out the community as a drug dealer. What made it even better he had just had an assload of work done to it 20 inch assassins a 5 grand system HA. Not to mention the shadow that it burned and a pos old dodge truck that his dad owned, i guess there is such a thing as Karma.

I actually saw a ~'92 Mustang catch on fire. I was leaving college and was in line at a traffic light to leave the parking lot. I heard him first and then saw him. An immaculate and I mean immaculate black Mustang GT went by infront of me and obviously had some motor and exhaust work done. The light went green, and I headed down the road and when I looked up ahead, I saw black smoke. I watched the guy stop the car on the median and jump out. He threw the hood open and flames shot a good 5 to 10 feet out from the engine bay. He then ran away from the car and got on his cell phone. It was both an interesting and sad thing to see.

The guys t bird that im talking about was purposly set on fire i watched from my upstairs window as somebody went into his garage  and all i could speculate is that they must have done the old wick in the gas tank trick.

I burned my '84 Cougar to the ground about a week or so before it was scheduled to be hauled off to the junkyard.  My friend and I tried to give it a targa roof with a blow torch.  I guess I shouldn't have left the headliner and carpet in it.  Thank God I'd taken the gas tank off already.  Even blew up my original sunroof glass that I'd planned on ebaying, it.
