Unhappy fire! ahh

ahhhhh, why does life have to crap on me all time? so my car hasnt been on the road more than 3 days and im going to the dentist and once i get into the parking lot and parked i noticed that there was smoke coming from under my hood, over heating i thought but when i looked at the temp gage it was normal. so i pop my hood hella quick and come to see a big *** flame coming from my primary fuel injectors, i ran inside the office and stole their fireextenguisher and put it out before any harm was done to the car, luckly only some wires got their ruber burnt off and thats it so i guess i gotta look for some new fuel injectors and fuel rails. and all this before i was going to go to seattle so i guess im lucky it happend where i had a fireextenguisher and not on the freeway where i would just have had to sit back and watch my baby burn.
