Been there, done that.
Had some friends do the same thing except they were IN the car when it happened.
They were driving around with a case of cherry bombs and firecrackers between the driver and his girlfriend.
A friend in the back seat was lighting and tossing out firecrackers until one hit the headliner and landed right on the whole package.
The explosion blew all the car windows out and broke store windows.
They got messed up pretty bad but lived. One was deaf in one ear after the incident.
Funny part was it happened right by our house.

Did you happen to live anywhere near Longbeach, MS at the time? If so, I was living near you at the time!

I'll mark that one as a near-Darwin experience.
