    Is this one of ours?

    Everyone was out of the car, appears all are safe and sound. Both doors open, flames pouring out.

    My kid just emailed me the photo.

    Damn shame.

    Looks to me like it's just in front of the rear wheels. Engine fire spewing forward out of the intakes/wheelwells?

    Terrible, regardless. Gutwrenching to see someone's dream machine vanish like that. :(

    Exactly what I thought! Hot brakes possibly, could they cause that sort of fire?

    That is a very small picture taken from a terrible angle but ... I could even make a case that there's a car in front of that one that's burning. No way it's the engine compartment.

    Nope.

    Only one car there.

    My kid was standing behind the camera phone that took the picture. No driver in sight either.

    Yeah sure, but while it's just parked? Probably not.

    It looks like the air intakes are open and that is what you are seeing.

    Fellas, let's review.

    MY DAUGHTER SENT ME THE PHOTO, AS IT WAS HAPPENING, FROM HER I-PHONE.

    It's not a fake.

    It's a real fire, although it does not appear to be coming from the engine compartment. I'll try to get some details from her today, if I can. BUT, IT'S THE REAL DEAL. SHE WATCHED IT BURN.

    OK?

    It looks like they stole your daughters photo without credit.

    Apparently there was an electrical problem. The owner was driving it and suddenly all the dash lights came on and smoke started billowing out.

    It was suicide... The car would rather kill itself than be forced to drive around on those hideous wheels any longer.
