    At first I thought this was a firefighter themed car wash, but then I saw the massive flames coming off of that Turd Gen.

    Feel bad for the owner.

    Wife tells husband: I hear a hissing sound from your truck, you have been home for like 5 hours now.
    Husband says: Oh its normal, its something about the Evap system.
    Neighbor frantically knocking on door: Dude your truck is on fire.
    Dealer: We will have to check the floor mats to see if they were secure before we can go any further.

    Think the truck was parked on a slope, which caused low oil pressure which in turn caused the fire.

    That, or the low transmission fluid. These the best two theories out there at this point.

    He found out after he bought the truck that money is harder to pay back than it was to borrow it. Or he never liked the color he chose.

    Must had been that Atkinson cycle that kicked in which caused the fire.
