Description of the problem | The engine caught on fire! While i was driving along the highway at a normal 55 miles per hour. I hear a poof and the next thing saw smoke and pulled right to side of road, lifted the hood and discovered the engine was in flames. I grabbed a sheet from inside the car and attempted to beat the flames back, along with a a can of pepsi the only liquid i had. But a good samaritan stopped with a fire extinguisher and put the fire out. |
