he's gonna try to fix it, and if your motor caught fire im pretty sure you wouldn't sit there and watch it burn just to take some pictures, it was more like HOLY ****!! GET THE ******* HOSEE!!! that was going through my mind instead of pictures, although if i did get a picture it would have been priceless roflcopters for sure

No one knows how to multitask? Some guys video tape their Ford truck or SUV, forgot which one, burn, but that was just to prove that something was making it catch fire. Did it start on fire right after it was started or after it warmed up? At least it's good to hear both of you are ok and the car is hopefully going to be fixed

happened to my buddy's eagle talon, the fuel rail was leaking gas all over the engine and it backfired out the intake and lit all of the gas on fire, just don't try to put out a gas fire with a hose, it just made the flames bigger, lucky there was a fire extinguisher near by and there was no damage to the car.
