That would be horrible to have to sit there and watch that. What do those ABC little fire extinguishers cost ? Where can you get one for the car ?

there's some mean SOBs in here that's just messed up... I don't find it funny at all someones car being destroyed by fire...

my sisters chrysler (I know LOL) caught fire in the middle of a busy intersection during rush hour, torched the entire thing. that wasn't funny either. but she did end up with a better car out of it all hehe

those kids looked like they panicked or something, I bet it's hard coming up with a good plan of action when your car is flaming on LOL the shirt idea is a pretty good one.... I dunno about dumping liquid on it, that can make an electrical fire worse

Well when ya see the fire at first it seems liek a little thing that is jsut a minor issue. When the car gets into the full burn cycle id be smashing the asshyole with the camera over the head for not helping and getting such a steady shot. lol

You can get a 2.5lbs ABC at your local hardware store for $10-15. However, if you have to use it, it will just about destroy anything it touches.

I would suggest spending a $130 or so for a 2.5lbs Halon bottle. No residue, and is safe around electronics. Instead of smothering the fire like dry chem it takes the oxygen away. Look for Kansas Fire Equipment on Ebay. I got some killer deals on Halon bottles from him, great guy to deal with.

i was thinking the exact same thing, and the camera pulls up and there's some place across the street with a parking lot full of cars , i'd be pissed if none of those 30 ppl even came out to see if i was okay, i think that video may be fake, or set up, everything in it seems so convenient to of happened

might not be good and will damage stuff but its a hell of a lot better than the whole car going up in flames
