It'll really get your blood flowing! I was driving mine when it went ablaze. The cam housing gasket blew out slowly, so it went from smoke to flames over about a 20 mile span. After seeing the smoke, I checked it out, then made a few calls to get towed with no luck. It was Labor Day. I drove on. About 4 miles from home, I drove upon a wrecker and asked for a tow, but he said he was on call and could not help, so I kept going. At the next traffic light, he turns his lights on as to motion that there was more than just smoke. I didn't process his signal until I lost hydraulics about 2 miles later. Luckily, no one was out at that hour, except for a few out walking. Never will forget the look on the guys face walking his dog, pointing and waving, as I drove by in a Porsche on fire!

I made it to my destination where I knew a fire extinguisher was available, then the frantic rush to get it put out began. It happened so quick, and it's amazing how clear the thought process was, especially given the fact that I was terribly hung over. Water won't help, don't pop the hood and give it more air for fuel, grab keys, unlock office, grab extinguisher in the warehouse, put out the fire.

It was a wild experience, and like you, everything is fine now.
