I didnt do this...my stupid older brother did.
Just out of high school, I spent my hard earned money on a blue 1982 Plymouth Horizon sport coupe...which promptly died of timing belt failure the first time I drove it.
Not having the money to fix it, the car sat in my dad's back yard for a month or so until my brother convinced me that he could fix it.
We got the thing barely running...and it was chugging along when I realized that I had locked the keys in the car. My stupid brother attempted to shut the car off, by unhooking the gas line in the engine bay. Gas sprayed alll over the engine which promptly caught fire.
My brother runs away leaving me with a burning car in the back yard, just a few feet from the kitchen window. I threw the dogs water dish on the fire, which didnt help.... so I got smart and grabbed a blanket out of the garage and beat the fire out.
The engine was ruined. I cleaned it up and sold the car as a roller at a huge loss.
