Morning I-5 traffic slowed to a stop-and-go crawl even though it was 6:30 am. This was close to Hugh's old house in Santa Clarita. Pulled off on the side of the highway at a gore point was a flatbed with a burning Civic (non-hybrid) in the back. As we got closer, the Civic exploded. I remember seeing the flash on the underside of an overpass nearby. That was pretty exciting.
I've seen/watched a at least 5-10 car fires over the years and I've only ever seen one that included an explosion. That one wasn't nearly as exciting as they are in the movies, but I was still glad to be watching from a distance.
