Beautiful black 1994 VW Passat GLX VR6 with 70K, all options including BBS wheels and Recaro seats, a bargain at $5000, Installed a sweet $600 Hella headlight kit about a week before the incident:
Full coverage insurance you say? Don't need it...I've never had a car accident in 15 years driving! Never thought about the car commiting suicide. three months after purchase:
(crappy pics from my cel phone) Fuel system fire. Bottle of Evian spring water and a T-shirt were no match. I can't remember if I cried when I saw those Hella lights melt away, but I sure felt like it.
$5600 lesson learned: Fire extinguisher in every car, and if you smell fuel vapors, even a little, find the source and fix it NOW!
Anybody else have their car catch on fire? It's a pretty scary experience.
