So my Capri caught fire today....

[FrankenStang]

<---- nanner of sarcasm.




My daughter called me to bring her homework to school so, I hopped in my Capri and went home to get it. As I'm pulling up to my house, I start smelling this burning smell. I didn't think much of it since the car always stinks. Well, I pull into my driveway and there's........... smoke...


I get out, pop the hood... Smoke billows out then as that clears, I see flame...

I got my hose and played Fireman. I didn't spray directly on the block, just the header where the flame seemed to originate from. I still don't know what caused it. I'm just glad I don't "think" like most chicks and flail my arms screaming for help as my car burns to the ground.


It was an interesting morning.

Hmmmm....

Guesses:

Leaves on the header (has happened to me)
Starter solenoid not disengaging (burning wire/starter)

 

[Strype]

Should have pooted on it and blown out flame

If you did, then you would know that this is a PLANNED response and NOT the helpless flailing that you think it to be.

In actuality, it's a rain dance. A call to the god of percipitation to swoop down and extinguish the flames thus saving the property from peril.

Such a thing can only be accomplished by virgins that are pure of heart! These women that you see "flailing" their arms to no avail are those who've lost the favor of Odin and the other Norse Gods. It's merely wishful thinking that these mortal s think that the gods will take pitty upon them.

Haha, that was a joke. Remember GTSETGO? Mine actually caught fire by the header on the driver side.

Well, it IS raining now.

[FrankenStang]

It's ok, raggy, it didn't burn long enough to spread and cause any damage. At least I didn't see any damage and it started right up after it happened..

 

[stykthyn]

[FrankenStang]

 

[Darkwriter77]

[Mustang78]
