So, KC has been interesting this morning. I followed a red Porsche boxster on the way to work that was on fire. Literally. On. Fire. Flames were visible and smoke was just billowing behind him to the point that you couldn't see if you were within 100 yards of him. I followed him from I-35 and 119th to I-35 and 67th and he was just getting after it, driving it like he stole it.

I'm not normally a rubbernecker, but that was impossible not to watch. After he exited off, this dude in an F150 that was next to me looks over at me and mouths "What the ****"

I'm guessing he was was trying to make it to Aristocrat Motors. I would have loved to have been a service tech over there when he rolled in.

"So, what seems to be the prob....OH MY GOD!"

"Yeah, it's been pulling a little to the right....oh, and it's been on fire for the past 10 minutes."

Yikes! A Boxster motor on fire means that burning motor is just behind you as a mid-engine and just in front of the gas tank. You can't even get to the motor to use a fire extinguisher in an emergency, it's just not that easy to access.

If this ever happens to me it's pull over and bail out time. Of course I'd take pictures to post here! :smile:

I knew about the proximity to the gas tank, but I wasn't aware of the difficulty getting to the engine to extinguish it. If I had, I probably would have followed him!

Won't it be closed in about 500 posts anyway? I thought 3000ish was the limit, and then if this thread keeps growing at it's current pace it'll be done by the 28th. Then we'll move on to RTT IV.

The original was just shy of 10k and the second went over 10k.
 
The mod team is watching this thread. As stated at the beginning, temp bans will be given for trying to shut it down. Don't like it, do what most do and don't read it. last warning.
