My Wifes car just burst into flames.

Ok. I exagerate. It did that some time ago. In the interviening time, it slagged the whole engine compartment, melted the windshield, raised flames high enough the neighbors called 911, was doused in enough water and fire retardant to make sure it was done burning, and has sat a while cooling and steaming.

I cna report several things. First, Ford makes a solid window. Reports are that it took the firefighters several trys to break a side window to get into the car. Second, ford makes a solid firewall. The whole engine compartment is slagged, but the interior is melt free. Smokey, but melt free.

So, how was your day today?
