Default C4 Explosion

Eating breakfast this morning and heard a loud BOOM from my living room. Look outside at my neighbor's driveway, lo and behold:



This is only the aftermath of course, but it burned up QUICK.

One less c4 out there!

How does just the rear burn up? Did he have a mobile meth lab in there?

WOW! Good think it wasn't closer between those houses or in a garage. Bad enough, but could have been worse.

If there was an EXPLOSION it had to be fuel related...gas leak build up fumes under hood then touched off by hot exhaust manifold. Result in one toasty Vette.

Sorry for the loss.

Until we know if they had a big life insurance policy or the marriage is going down the toilet, it's hard to say. Also, maybe the car was having issues and this was an easier way out by claiming insurance?

If fire reaches shocks they can explode. Seen it a few times.
