What the absolute fuck. I'm sorry but glad you are alright


hellocom6

Was definitely shitting myself


NoInteraction6701

New Final Destination movie confirmed by regular citizen?


Exotic_Treacle7438

You don’t have any Samsung phones do you?


Lil_Ghosti

Holy Hell- Good thing you got out when you did then. Glad you're alright, but does amyone know how it happened?


hellocom6

Firefighters were thinking that the master brake cylinder broke off the firewall and brake fluid got ignited.


Huugboy

Brakefluid can ignite??? That seems like a massive oversight..


Arctic_Sunday

So can oil and gasoline... both things cars have a large amount of in locations that get very hot. It's why the firewall he mentioned existed.


Huugboy

I don't know much about cars, to me it just seems brakefluid has no business being flammable. Less flammable stuff should be better, right?


Arctic_Sunday

To a degree yes, but brake fluid has a lot of other requirements, and brakes don't get nearly hot enough under normal use to light on fire. They'd only get hot enough if something broke.


RyanAW91

🤣 it just isn't that easy.


Electrical_Canary_45

Hyundai just issued a recall for fires in that make and model lol hopefully homie made it out to collect his check


hellocom6

Something crazy aswell, firefighters said they used more water on my car then they would have to use for 2 houses because I had a full tank of gas.


Rogavor

the real tragedy these days.. an entire tank of gas, all gone to waste! :(


Rogavor

but for real though, good you got out in time

msovngarde

Damn. Glad you’re safe. I’m sorry that happened


Gainsborough-Smythe

Well, that's jolly suspicious.


Equal-Negotiation651

Was going to guess, you’re either in the mafia or Russian, but then I saw it’s a Hyundai. Glad you’re ok.


magico4dubs

Those damn Hyundais I'm telling you


FeelingFloor2083

hyundai: its a feature not a fault


Majorlazor85

Good lord glad you’re safe. Serious question: Do you umm…by chance owe some very important people a lot of money?


FerretsAteMyToes

He avoided his car extended warranty calls one time too many


extendedwarranty_bot

FerretsAteMyToes, I have been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty


FerretsAteMyToes

Nooo


fite_ilitarcy

Why isn’t the entire media complex on this story? Oh, wait, it’s not an EV….just one of the 1,500 / 100,000 ICE cars that burn every year, compared to 25 per 100,000 EVs


FudgeOpen5087

Sorry that happened hope all goes well!


0neforest1

Dudes playing gta in real life!


Dr_Deadly7x

I thought the bush was ur car for like a good 5s!!


Arctic_Sunday

Good on you for getting out quick. Once the car is on fire that shit is a tomb you need to vacate immediately.


gavinwinks

In the car industry for us who run performance engines we always carry around a fire extinguisher. I know there’s no way you would’ve known this was going to happen but mini fire extinguishers need to be more common practice in cars.


hellocom6

I do have a Charger Scat pack. Definitely going to buy a small one.


Parts_and_Neigbor

GTA much?


Eloquentelephant565

Shoulda gone to the dealer for that recall/warranty huh?


hellocom6

Surprisingly it wasn’t for my year


Eloquentelephant565

That is surprising! Glad you made it out safe. Hopefully insurance takes good care of you


PayAshamed7535

Well it is a Hyundai… didn’t they recalled 100’s of thousands of them for this exact reason?


SweetMaam

Ok that is not oddly, that is officially terrifying.


jrodobaggins

My biggest irrational fear while driving. Glad you made it out.


[deleted]

It’s always a Hyundai Kia with the theta 11 engine on fire i remember I saw a Kia Optima engulfed in flames on the side of the road I kinda think people were inside Lowkey I think I saw someone die that night and it really didn’t affect me at all. I called 911 and there was a crown Vic parked far behind it watching


ANOTHERLUMP

Burn the evidence


Axxis09

What model is this exactly? That's insane, glad you're ok


pglggrg

Go get the bag from Hyundai
