It’s blazing away merrily. Of course there’s traffic mayhem in the surrounding streets. I can hear the approaching sirens, so the fire brigade is on its way.
Keep the windows closed. Did it belong to anyone in your office?
I doubt it. Nobody in my office drives to work.
Anyway, the fire’s out now. And the car’s been towed away. The excitement is over for the morning.
that was quick.
i do hope no one was in it at the time.
There were no signs of a driver. He was probably on the footpath somewhere, watching in horror as his car went up in flames. And no ambulances, so I presume no injuries.
Why, just the other day we were driving down the highway, when we noticed that a motorcycle was on fire in the lane next to us. The rider was beating it out with a jacket and pulling over and all seemed to be mostly under control.
You know. Considering.
That used to happen a lot back when I worked on MLK. They were usually stolen - joyride cars. Good way to get rid of fingerprints and DNA.
A reason to wear leather pants I didn’t think of.
Could you tell what kind of car it was?
I love a good car-becue, except when I get stuck in the ensuing traffic jam.
I don’t know anything about cars, so I have no idea. But the car itself was still recognisable, so yes, its model could have been identified.
Never seen a car on fire, but I do remember one time driving down the road and seeing a driver on fire - she jumped out of the car with a burning t-shirt. had dropped a cigarette onto a cotton shirt while driving.
