Burning Car
Yesterday I was waiting for the bus to arrive this afternoon and while I was waiting I saw this billowing smoke rising out from behind the trees and I was like, "I wonder if someone's lit a fire or something." Then when the smoke was brown and black and moving down towards the intersection I thought, "That sure is a dirty transport truck."But then the smoke got thicker and blacker... I saw people getting out of their cars and decided to go down the road a bit to see what the commotion was about. (I couldn't see because the interesection dips down into a valley and the bus stop is on a bit of a hill.) And there it was, a car completely engulfed in flames. Just incredible. No one was inside the car as far as I know and I don't even know how the car rolled into the intersection in the first place. I even managed to take a video of the burning car (9MB).
I still have yet to find out exactly what happened, I didn't see anyone get out of the car from where I was standing. I've never seen anything like it in my entire life! But I'm so glad that I take my camera everywhere with me, it's for times like this because you never know what's going to happen.
We suspect that the car was stolen, set on fire and then pushed out into the intersection. No one claimed to be the owner of the car when the police came. Upon talking to a few other people I think the car was a Cobra.
More Photos of the Car...
Don't mind the photo of the limes at the end, I took that one earlier in the day.

Pretty cool, Val. Nothing like a little car-fire to brighten up the
day.
