This is reminding me that I have a 79 in storage in the back of my garage. It probably has not run for 4 yrs. I have no idea how much gas is in the tank. I better drain all the gas from it. Never thought that it might leak and burn it all down. Better do it today or very soon.

I've driven with enough oil smoke to completely blind me from what's behind me. Smile Thank God those days are over.

Anyone ever had a "EVERYBODY is flashing their brights, there couldn't be THAT many cops on the road..." revelation moment?

Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Krusty the Klown was advertising for the "Canyonero" SUV:

"Top of the line for utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts,
Canyonero!"

Except these fires aren't "unexplained".

There really should be a burning bus gallery.

What's up with that bumper? Are those supposed to be brush-guards or something?

Can we please stop burning up these cars?
They are not manufactured any more.
