Car Spins Wheels In Snow and Catches on Fire

Watch this idiot, on live TV, spin his wheels until he catches on fire.

And LilPixi...hello, my site, nice praise over there for you, hint, hint :-); 2/04/2011
THE SNEE said...: How apropos. A new idea for a super bowl tailgate barbecue.; 2/04/2011
The Wolf said...: Do you think his insurance policy has "complete fucking moron" coverage? Or a "look at me I'm too fucking stupid to realize what I'm doing is going to set my car on fire and their all gonna laugh at me but I'm a fucktard and can't figure this out" policy?

I wonder if All State has those?; 2/04/2011
bazza said...: To be fair, who would have thought that spinning the wheels like that would have that effect. It was stupid but he was pretty unlucky that a stray spark must have ignited the fuel line as LilPixi suggests.
I was in a car once when it burst into flames (faulty fuel injector) on a UK motorway at 70mph. I pulled up onto the hard shoulder (emergency lane) and ran for it just before it went up like a rocket! Not much fun at the time.

Kelly said...: LilPixi- Yeah, something was very, very bad was bound to happen to his car by him spinning his tires, continuously. Hell, my Dad taught me when I first started learning to drive that doing this was a bad idea. Not that he needed to tell me the obvious. At the very least, you can burn all the rubber off of your tires or overheat your engine. Hey, it's too bad he couldn't have shot himself over a rainbow and crashed, hood first, onto the ground. One less idiot in the world.; 2/05/2011
Kelly said...: klahanie- I know, Gary, what do they think this is, summer time or something? It's a little strange to have a bar-b-q in the middle of winter, unless it's at a Super Bowl tailgate party.; 2/05/2011
Kelly said...: THE SNEE- Sure, it's a new idea for a tailgate bar-b-q, Rebecca, but I don't think it's possible if the tailgate is on fire. You know me... Always thinkin'. :); 2/05/2011
Kelly said...: The Wolf- Maybe his insurance policy has "It's okay if I turn myself into a human shish kabob" coverage or any of the policies you mentioned. In any case, he's a retard for turning his car into a fireball. Anyone with a lick of sense knows you can't keep your foot on the gas and spin your wheels indefinitely without some sort of negative repercussion happening. It should have been obvious to him that he wasn't going anywhere doing that during the first couple of minutes.; 2/05/2011
Kelly said...: bazza- Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I have heard of that happening before with certain tires. Plus, it depends on what the tires are made of, exactly, and how much continuous gas you're giving it and the amount of time spinning your wheels in one spot, not to mention the type of pavement you're on. I've seen professional drag races where enough heat has been generated to a point where the wheels catch on fire, though normally, the tires on those vehicles are so thick and made of better material than a regular motorist's car.

Your story of what happened to you with your fuel injector on the motorway sounds frightening. You were lucky to have been able to pull over and escape. Some people wouldn't have stayed focused enough to have done what you did. Bravo to you on that point. My parents' car caught on fire, years ago on the road, due to the engine catching on fire. I'm forget the details of that episode but they managed to escape in time, as well.; 2/05/2011
Greg said...: That's too funny...I helped a young lady out that was doing that on the street below our apartment, she was gunning her tires like she was trying to dig her way to China.

All she had to do was rock it couple times and the car zipped right out. When this guy learns, if he ever does how easy it would have been to get his car to move that three feet to the clear road.

I owned a car that caught on fire once, I used oven mitts from a Wendy's I managed to pull the cables that were on fire out. People were looking at me like I was crazy..Well I am but hey don't look at me like that..; 2/06/2011
Kelly said...: Greg- Yeah, idiots who fuck themselves up for the entertainment of others are always funny. That's why I'm a big fan of shows like Tosh.O. That was very gentlemanly of you to help that young lady out on your street. Was she pretty? Did you nail her? I'm just kidding. I think.

That dude with the flambéed car could have done what you suggested or, at least, use his or someone else's cell phone to call for help to get him pulled out. I'm sure there are a lot more practical things he could have done instead of what he wound up doing.

Your story about your own flaming car was exciting. Don't blame you for wearing the Wendy's oven mitts in that scenario. Whatever works! By the way, it's okay that you're crazy. I am, too. :); 2/06/2011
