Saw a tad bit of smoke once I got on the freeway, figured maybe one of my gaskets started leaking onto something hot. Popped open my hood and instantly saw a tiny flame at the bottom, looked like on the exhaust maybe (didn't have a lot of time to inspect it). At the time I only had my laptop to work on school work with and my PC just broke so I ran to my trunk before the electronics shit the bed and grabbed my laptop and then frantically searched for something to take out the fire. I had nothing so I had to wait for the fire department which took 20 minutes to get on the scene. By the time they were there the car was toast and I had caused a traffic jam on the freeway.
Sad story but hey, insurance said it was an electronic issue so i'm not sure.
