HAHAHAHA!!!!!! okokokokok, I got a funny one for ya, some might cringe or cry, but its funny now that is years later.

I was driving my 1st 77 targa triple black with an aftermarket turbo on it one day, just tooling along minding my own business, when all of a sudden, I smell SMOKE!!!! i look in the rearview mirrow and see fire and smoke coming from my motor bay. I pull over and shut the car off and run to the back, and HOLY S**T, My car is on fire!!!!!!! I did not have a fire extinguisher so I called the fire department. The fire department arrives within just a few minutes (and yes during all that time I am crying and trying to find anything to put the flames out). They park behind my car, pull out their halon hose of some sort, and proceed to blast the rear end of my car with all that white crap. There is so much white stuff it shoots out of the vents in the cabin and comes out the top of the targa.
Now the funny part. I guess the starter wires fused melted together because the car starts and is bucking down the road with the firemen walking behind it trying to extinguish it. It went on its own starter power for a good 50 yards before it quit. I cried then, but I laugh now. needles to say, there is a fire extinguisher in my car now.
