What a morning.
One of the street mechanic specials this morning caught fire directly behind my car around 3am this morning. I was awoken to three to four small explosions as the Chevy Tahoe burned.
For those of you who do not know what a â??the street mechanic specialsâ? is it is defined as a non running car purchased with the purpose of selling it after some work has been done on the car.
The reason why I mention this event on this forum is because well the tour was parked near by. The fire department came and extinguished the flames within minutes after arriving. The firemen then proceeded to check for bodies prying open the doors and pulling out stuff. Not a nice job looking for and pulling out charred bodies.
The tour live on!

You know your thread sucks when you have to explain why you started it.

Are you autistic or something? Just wondering, because you have a very.....odd way of communicating.

Hmmm, it seems something has been missed by all posters.
Looks like the joke is on you.

The only thing that I can conclude is that your car is also a street mechanic special and will be sold soon. Hopefully I'm correct in this conclusion. If not,,,,, then again, quit pulling my heart's strings.
