Car got towed a few days ago due to "lack of starting" at the mall parking lot. Finally got to work on it yesterday to figure out what was wrong. A little checking here and there, nothing. Tried to start it. On the third start, I noticed through the gap in the dashboard and the hood that my engine compartment lit up like a barbecue. Ran in the house, tore out all the crap under the sink to find the fire extinguisher. Got it, ran outside, started spraying. Got it out a few times only for it to reignite from underneath. Eventually got it out and it stayed out. Removed battery.
Total time cooking... anywhere from 45 seconds to 3 or 5 minutes... I had no sense of time. Had some wiring melted under the hood, everything is covered in fire extinquisher powder. Dunno what insurance is going to do, waiting on them to call me back.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
