Flaming red RX8

I saw this on a news site and I hope this isn't one of you guys. I don't see any impact, and the headlights are still on. He must've got outta there quick...

Could be from a high powered amp. I've seen systems catch fire before, but never like that. All you need is a spark though.

I wonder if I could get those rear tires cheap...

...though I'd probably have to bring my own spatula.

Wonder if having cat delete would have helped in burning up excess fuel thus stopping the fire

hope they are alright.
