So I was at my parent's place last night, my brother and his girlfriend came to visit and I was going to go and get Charlie and bring him back for a sleepover party. I started my car and all of the sudden I smell something REALLY weird, and then it starts spewing out smoke from under the hood so I get out and start yelling "MY CAR IS ON FIRE!" and my brother's girlfriend looks and says "Yeah it is." Then my brother comes out and looks, same reaction. My dad comes out and doesn't look too concerned (the smoke is now slowing down). So I say to my dad "Has this ever happened to you?" and my dad says "Everything has happened to me." So anyway we decide that I should leave it to sit and take my mom's car to go get Charlie. So I do. I get back and we all go into the dining room (which overlooks the driveway) to have dinner. Half way through dinner (it's dark outside at this point) there is a HUGE explosion/flash. My mom says oh it must be one of the pot lights...and I am like, oh yeah crazy pot lights. Then my mom says we should make sure to turn them off. So after dinner I say to my dad "Make sure to turn those lights off" and he says "It's not a problem." Then flash forward a few hours and my dad is saying "I don't think that explosion was a pot light I think it was your car, but we didn't want to upset you."
I drove it home today without turning the headlights on (which have not been working and are obviously the reason for the electrical fire and explosion) and I made it home.
Something else to pay for...it never ends does it?
