    On second thought, I would just let it burn.. If there is any kind of small fire, I would rather the whole car burn and get a new one than having to fix the fire damage..

    Good point, hard to disagree here.

    However, most cars that burn down are either old or they have something done to them (mods). Would you bother if you had a stock car?

    all the pics of this car are labeled as honda, including the one he posted from the location he posted ;-) so i think it's safe to say it's a honda since the person who took the pic said they saw the honda logo on one of the wheels... though i have seen honda wheels on other cars...

    but anyhow... a lot of the cars that burn are new... in 98 my parents 96 chevy truck burnt (but luckily it was raining so the rain put it out)... the BMW that burned the same week as mine was brand new... the new beetle that burnt the same month as mine wasn't very old... so i wouldn't bank on a new sock car being safe just because... i would bank on having a fire extinguisher just in case

    perhaps... but i am drugged enough right now that nothing is obvious so i am not going to even try to figure out what you said or why... i'm gonna focus on whether or not i can drive without making my car look like that one
