...And everywhere was a song and a celebration
And I dreamed I saw the bomber jet planes riding
shotgun in the sky
Turning into butterflies above our nation!!”

Stage Announcer : The warning that I received, you may take with however many grains of salt you wish, that the yellow snow that is circulating around us, is specifically not too good. It’s suggested that you do stay away from that; of course, it’s your own trip, so, be my guest.

I once had a Fiat X19 that had a gas hose spring a leak. Fortunately I smelled the gas and saw my gas guage going down. I pulled into a parts store and then fixed the issue. I was very lucky my car did not catch on fire

Happens a lot due to improper repairs and modifications. And plain old neglect.

And those never-blow fuses from China don’t help either.

That’s why I say you should always drink and drive at the same time so when the fire first starts and is still small, you can put it out with the beer you’re drinking.

—”Happens a lot due to improper repairs and modifications. And plain old neglect.”

But reading on the EV threads it only happens to battery power cars?

Except for one of my neighbors, his new ICE car burned down his attached garage, house, and most everything he owned.

Skis up. I-80 over the Sierras was basically closed for 3 days.
