New Brakes & A Car Fire!
by nascarfan123 on Comments
Ok so I went to a tire place to get the brakes changed on my car because the brakes on my car were just about down to 0%. After sitting for 2 hours of waiting and later paying $150 I have new brakes for my car, now here's the insane part. In the waiting area in the tire place one of the walls is a big window so you can see out into the road. After sitting for about an hour waiting and staring at a boring soap opra on the piece of crap TV I herd a small boom and felt the room shake a bit. Everybody in the building was at first like "wtf was that?" then we looked out the window and saw a car screech to a halt with fire coming out from underneath the hood. The family in the car quickly got out and ran from the car, while a mechanic from the tire place grabbed an enstinguisher and put the flames out. The problem was that the engine was still on and the fire started up again, and that this is was right next to a very busy intersection so there was a lot of traffic. A person called for the fire department while the fire continued to grow. It didn't seem that it would be too bad until the interior of the car cought fire. In seconds the entire car was in flames. We worried about a fuel line getting set on fire cuase then the car would explode. Luckly, that never happened and the fire trucks came out and put the flames out. This all happened in about 5-10 minutes. It was crazy.
