Ha! Good story! I've seen three myself. The first was my dad's old ford ranger. It began to smoke one day coming home from an errand run. He pulled into a driveway and we got out just before it burst into flames. Apparently it was a ruptured fuel line. My mom had one similar in a car of hers before I was born. Another time, I was at a friend's when he received a call and in disbelief, told me to get up because we were going to go see something. We hopped into his car and drove out into the country where on a back dirt road, there was a sporty yellow ford ranger (ironically) with two young men running from the scene. Apparently they had lit it up to claim the insurance. A neighbor of mine tried the same thing - lit up his own car in his own driveway... without setting the ebrake. It rolled into his house and both went up in flames. The insurance company could tell immediately that it was a scam and he got nothing in return. The last case was early winter in Vermont. First snow of the year and everyone was driving mach 3 in their SUVs. It was only a matter of time, I told my friend. Sure enough, five minutes later we watched as an SUV on the opposite side of the interstate augered into the median, rolling three times before grinding to a stop. My friend was a med student and I was a ski patroller. We ran to the median and pulled the elderly couple out as their SUV began to burn.
