Bad news people. I start my car and keep the pedal down while I had a big stick to put between the seat and pedal to keep it down with out me in car. Well I went back to the car a hour later and it was on fire. I thought it would help sitting there so it won't choke again. There was fire coming from the front of the hood and sides and a little underneath. We are letting it burn because we have very little water to drink and don't want to waste it. The car is good distance away from us. What can I expect when it's burning? Will it melt to metal? There is no emergency people in or around us and is why we needed the car. :( I was always told from childhood that cars where devils and now I believe. I'm happy I was not in car.
tee hee

My dad used to have a taurus wagon that burned up in the drivethrew at McD's!... But I think this is some sick sad joke to get all of use worried about another low millage SHO leaveing the road!

When I got my first SHO back in 1998, it was an MTX and I literally went to pick it up and drive it home not knowing how to drive a stick. I learned the basics in the parking lot, the not so basics from a buddy on the way home and by the next morning, I was shifting gears without any problems at all.

You'll learn.
