    If the dude has gap insurance on the loan, it's his lucky day. ;)

    Wonder if it's a result of the recall they had a few years back. Never got it fixed.

    You can see from the picture that the truck is on an elevated stretch of highway. I watched the fire truck go by the opposite direction, also an elevated road. The problem was, the next exit is about a mile and a half the wrong direction. No way to stretch the hose over the median either, the opposing stretches of road are separated by about 10 feet with a 50 foot drop in the middle.

    That truck is toast.

    Nice to see a car on fire that isn't a Ferrari or Lambo...

    My buddy had a used F150 which suffered and engine fire hauling a trailer through the Cascades a few months ago due to a recall which wasn't performed when purchased at a dealership. All repairs were on Ford's dime.

    We must have been passing through around the same time as I saw smoke ahead and the fire truck going the opposite direction. As I exited onto Las Colinas Blvd the entire cab was completely engulfed with fire coming out the back window. The pic looks just as I recall. Yikes!

    Looks like where 161 toll road becomes 121 toll road over by 635 and MacArthur.

    At least. I've seen at least 3 or 4 car fires in recent memory along the NJTP.

    Car somehow catches on fire and you collect insurance. Also applies to boats, homes or anything else of value which is flammable ;)

    Seems rather offensive for a friendly Ferrari forum. I may be just a little sensitive though, not a big deal.

    See, that's why you shouldn't smoke crack and drink at the same time while you drive.

    That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Jerry's dentist converted to Judaism for the jokes...
