my car....flames.....
So tonight i was leaving a friends house to a party, when my car desides to have a gas leak and blow up..... I was driving to a party, when i noticed the rpm's wouldn't go higher and i was pushing the gass pedel to the floor, so i down-shifted to get the rpm's to shoot back up and when i did nothing happened so i pulled over. When i did so i turned the flashers on and when i did the car busrt into flames on the passenger's side of the car my best friend Rachelle was in the car and she was soo shocked that I had to basically get her out of the car about 5 seconds; soon after we got out the car, it burst into flames like a burnt piece of steak.....the fire department said it was a gass leak..
here are some pics....
this pic is from I-10
this pic is the engine bay...
this pic is the left fender...
my car is origonally a grey color but now its white..the headers burnt off....
More pics coming soon

WTF?! Ditto on the hope everyone is OK.
Stock or modded? Just wondering if something that was done might have caused it - to save others the same fate.
Damn that is terrible looking.

He's as bad as Can
Based on all the work you said your 8 had https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-discussion-3/official-my-8-p-o-s-112852/
there is a good chance someone made a mistake on the third engine you had put in.
