    Corolla...ON FIRE!

    On my way home today, I saw a 96/97 Corolla on fire...literally. It was on the opposite side of the highway. It left a long trail of bush fire on the side of the road. Sad thing is, the fire truck was trying to put out the fire about 1/2 a mile away, while the Corolla was still burning further down the road...:(.
    RIP Corolla...

    Anybody have any idea what could've caused it. I know it all probably would be speculation, but shoot away....

    The car fire was probably already contained....no chance of spreading. Tree fire couldve taken out an entire county

    Forgot to mention that the fire fighters might not have seen the Corolla still burning because the highway was kinda bending....

    Also the car fire was not yet contained. It appeared (to me atleast) that they thought the fire might of died out, but it came back with a vengeance! The fire was still flaring atleast a couple feet high...
