Talking Car fire part 4

I found the most wonderful way to get grease off the bottom of my car and remove half the hair off my arm! FIRE!!!
I'm under the RS relieving it of it's exhaust system and I'm using a MAPP gas torch to heat the pipe up and bang it loose. Well it worked great, but there was so much grease under the car that it spontaniously combusted and everything on the underside of the car was cookin. I scurried (did I just make that word up??) out from under the blazing inferno and grabbed the garden hose and put it out. Molton grease is just dripping off the botton of this thing and making the floor all nice and sticky.
So now my car has caught fire 4 times since I took it off the street. Either it's pissed at me or I don't know how to use fire (see "James Hetfield").
I put the torch away and anything else that can make fire. FIRE BAD!!!

Good thing there is nothing ON the car that can burn Can't call it an engine fire aye?? lol

ALL you have to DO is keep fire away from the gas tank and yer all set. I'm guessing that will be fire #5

Fire BAD!!! T-Shirts! Goood!

A few words of advise...

Get Fire & Theft insurance added to your policy. Then when this **** happens again you can let the mutherf*kker burn, collect the insurance money, get another third gen and have all the good parts that weren't on the car left over for your new one.

Just my creative imagination working hard

Dude... Water on a grease fire is a no-no.

Four fires? Maybe someone's trying to tell you not to build that car?
