You will see 2 guys running to the mustang that is on fire. Too bad our buddys there that are fire fighters didnt have any extingishers... haha
Oddly enough, one of our firemen friends(the drunkguy yelling at them in the vid) set himself on fire about a week later.

I dont know what I would do if my truck caught on fire.

But I bet it would involve a lawn chair and popcorn.

I need an award. Got the truck home and running yesterday with the help of kbracing96 (he has pics that I'm sure he'll be posting up soon).....

I put the PCV valve in backwards. Driving last night, got into some boost, blew out the driver's side valve cover gasket, oil on the manifold, engine fire #2 in 4 days

No damage this time, got to spend 30 minutes at a gas station fixing the gasket. Now I have oil everywhere.

Darwin Award??

I'm amazed that you had another fire. I've puked quarts of oil before onto the heads, block and manifold and it just lightly smokes. I wonder if its because you have a tubular manifold and it dissipates heat better.

This fire was on the stock manifold on the driver's side. I guess my truck likes to light up and burn.
