Consumer Description

5 YEARS AGO I HAD MY ENGINE REPLACE DUE TO THE MANIFOLD MELTING. I WASN'T SURE WHAT CAUSED IT. ABOUT 6 WEEKS AGO MY CAR CAUGHT FIRE. I JUST PARKED THE CAR IN A SCHOOL PARKING LOT AND WENT INTO THE SCHOOL. A PARENT TOLD ME MY CAR WAS SMOKING. WHEN I CAME OUT I SAW THE SMOKE. THE SMOKE STARTED TO BUILD QUICKLY AND SHORTLY AFTERWARD I SAW A GLOW FROM THE FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE ENGINE WAS TOTALLY ON FIRE. THE FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENT CAME OUT.
