Last night a few of my coworkers and myself went out for dinner and then to our favorite watering hole for a nightcap. When I pulled into the parking lot I saw a stream of smoke coming from the right and I immediatly knew that there was fire nearby. Once I parked the car, I could see that the smoke was coming from a small car about a hundred yards away in the parking lot of a Hy-Vee store. As we stood there among the growing crowd of patrons who stepped outside to watch this little pyro display unfold, the flames from the car doubled, then tripled until it was completely engulfed. One minute later, the tires exploded and at that point we all secretly (and for some people, not so secretly) started hoping that the whole car would blow - what a cool sight that would have been!
But alas, the firefighters arrived on the scene and within twenty seconds had the fire pretty well put out. No big boom for us, but still quasi cool to see a car on fire... kind of reminded me of Detroit.
