    From the Audi board I frequent:

    I was on my way home from work and he's waving for help. There was a fire under his car and I gave him a gallon of water but that's all I had. He called the FD but the water we put on it only slowed it down as a baby fire... it slowly grew and engulfed the entire right rear on the car.

    His name is [Removed by Mod], about 5'8" probab 200lbs. I have no idea who he is but he appreciated me stopping to help. Says he paid someone to change the coolant because it was running a bit hot. When he pulled over because it was again running hot and because he smelled something burning--- turned out the guy never put the cap back on.

    Poor guy.

    Oh man, that's just sad. But hopefully the insurance will cover it and he can buy another nice 360 :)
