Quite a morning! Got the 8N started, and put in some seat time plowing the road of snow. Chains go on in the morning.
Granddaughter leaves for work in her Toyota Yaris. Few minutes later, she charges into my bedroom (5:00 am) saying her car was on fire! She was plowing through snow, saw smoke coming out around the engine hood, followed by flames. She jumped out of her running car and ran back to the house (the car still running in the middle of the road).
I sprung out of bed like a jack rabbit (yea, sure). Threw on some clothes (it was -7 degrees outside), and walked to her car. Opened the engine hood, could smell plastic burning but could not see where it was (forgot a flashlight). Drove the car back to the house, no flames were visible.
Anyone experience a flaming Yaris?
