stop @ Giant 45 to sell a record to a guy who works there. Get back in my car headed east on 12th ave. right in front of the husky house I notice smoke coming from my tape deck. Initially I thought i had melted a tape, so I eject it, but nope, its intact. Next instinct says im overheating. So I look for a place to pull over and pop the hood. I see a spot around the corner in the parking lot of what used to be colonel belcher hospital (SE corner of 5th street and 12th ave). I pull in, park and pop the hood, expecting steam to come out...but theres nothing, no smoke, no steam nothing. So I go back to my car, and theres tonnes of smoke now. Seconds after I get back to my car there are flames coming from out of the dash. At this point I moved to the other side of the parking lot. No fire extinguisher, 911 was already called, nothing much more I could do at that point.

so full story is, i was driving, and what I believe to be an electrical fire started in my dash, sending the whole dash, followed by the interior up in flames. really, it all happened in what I guess to be under a minute, i mean after I popped my hood to check there, I was on teh phone w/ 911, and before I had the full adress given, there was flame all over the inside.

Factory (tape) deck, no extra speakers, no cigarettes, nothing like that. It just went up for no reason


Fuck dude... That's intense.. Sorry to hear, but atleast you are well.. Good Luck with insurance!!

That sucks mate. But on a good note, you could say it was your car's tribute to the Flames playoff run. Only a true Flames fan drives a car that spontaneously combusts a few blocks from the Saddledome.

this sounds way too suspicious.

no doubt a few leaf fans sabotaged that ride.

EDIT: On a more serious note... What do the owners of the car on either side of yours have to say? Looks like their's are torched too..
