Guest tbutera2112 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 what did that used to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Chevy Impala. Not sure who owned it. It went from smoking a little.... to smoking a lot, to on fire. We called the fire department as soon as we saw it smoking a little. They didnt show up until it was on fire (A LOT). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truckin Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Cars get fully involved pretty quick......with all the plastic, foam in the seats. It dosen't take long. Whats impressive is a vehicle with a magnesium block. One of those get going and it's a very bright blueish flame. What part of town was this?

Draco-REX Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Bet the owner of the minivan wished he had moved it when you guys saw smoke from the impala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate1647545505 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Who stole my car and drove it to your work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcan900 Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The mini van took some damage. We didn't find the owner until the car was fully on fire. So he couldn't move it. There is also a dodge neon behind the tree. It actually caught on fire as well from the Impala. Bad start to the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck531 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 I bet it was part of the recall for the front valve cover leaking onto the manifold and BOOM.. fire. (if it had a 3800 in it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 don't the moons of saturn have to be perfectly in align for that to actually happen? Not really. GM has a recall out now for 3800's for the front valve cover leaking. I've gotten several notices for my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicedH22 Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 The mini van took some damage. We didn't find the owner until the car was fully on fire. So he couldn't move it. There is also a dodge neon behind the tree. It actually caught on fire as well from the Impala. Bad start to the day. I was getting ready to say, it looked like there was another car behind the tree on fire as well in the first and third pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FormulaMatt Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 That's crazy, we just had one burn here at Ashland in Dublin last week. It was a new Nissan minivan. It lit up the Hyundai (i think) next to it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats where my money is. don't the moons of saturn have to be perfectly in align for that to actually happen? Not at all. 3800's were also known to have faulty o-rings on the injectors so that is another possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 That's crazy, we just had one burn here at Ashland in Dublin last week. It was a new Nissan minivan. It lit up the Hyundai (i think) next to it too. That's funny. I work on the other side in the tech center and I didn't even know a car went up last week. It must have been right after I left, but I heard it didn't go well for a few cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Bet the owner of the minivan wished he had moved it when you guys saw smoke from the impala. Bet not! If I owned an old ass Pontiac mini van I would want it to catch fire and be someone else's insurance responsibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseyctsv Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 For what it is worth I lost my 99 Grand Prix the same way....parked it and 30 minutes later it burnt to the ground. Bad valve cover gasket. Miss that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
