So lastnight i was on my way on the gas station.. heading down I-85 south to Old P'tree.. to the QT. I had left my car up at Waffle House previously to headign down the interstate becasue i was riding with my friend. So right as im getting on the exit ramp my friend starts flashing me and i look back and see a large ploom of smoke....hhmmmmm. He pulls up next to me and tells me that theres a glow under my car.. not good. So i pull over right at the light adn open the hood WOOOOOOSSSSHHHHH flames everywhere :(
The feeling of opening your hood and watching fire comsuming everythinf and being totally helpless is undescribable... it really sucks. So here i am... not knowing what to do and thinkign about that video where the VW catches fire adn they jsut tape it burning becasue they cant do anything about it is running through my head. Then my friends runs up with a bottle of Mtn Dew and hands it to me and jumps back in the car and heads to QT to get a extinguisher. I start pouring The Dew on the fire.. and luckily there was jsut enough left to put it out.
So i sat there for awhile jsut wondering what the fuck im going to do. I have full coverage on the car and im pretty sure my Comprehensive coverage will cover it. But the strange thing is i have had someone recently threatening to vandalize my car (burn, steal, cut the top, rip the bumpers off with another car).. and now it caught fire. So after lettign it sit adn inspecting some of the burnt wiring and not seeing much i crank it up. It runs.. but now sounds like shit..... baaadly.
Shitty way to start off myweekend.... i guess i'll call the insurance company on monday..... i wonder if i need to make a police report or anything...
I'm gonna go get drunk now.. since im not driving anywhere.
So from now on im carrying a small extinguisher in my trunk.....
