I saw this coming back down Skyline Blvd after a great ride, the girl in the blue top at the right could only watch as her cute little Volkswagen convertible went up in flames.
A fire engine was just pulling up right after I took this pic.
So I proceeded on my way happy to be on my bike.

Ouch.

I guess the old "at least nobody was hurt" is all you can say.

Ouchie!

The moral of the story is, carry a fire extinguisher.

What a shame. Check your fuel lines and hose clamps, kids.

Used to have a 914....always had the extinguisher and upgraded the fuel lines to stainless steel. That looks horrible btw. Old cars=trouble.
