Didn't set mine on fire, but came close. Brake caliper mounting bolts would not break loose, so I torched the heads off. Newspaper soaked in brake fluid under the car caught fire from the sparks (my bad). Glad I had an extinguisher close at hand.
It caught fire on its own once. Bubba had moved the battery and battery cable. Cable burned through on the exhaust manifold, starting a fire by arcing near some oil leaks catching the oil on fire. Extinguisher again saved the day, my car, and my house.
I fixed Bubba's mess, including the oil leaks to prevent a recurrence.

and throw stuff; tires me out so I can think straight before I do some real damage.

Not here. My two happen to be ladies so I'm not concerned with parentage. I will say there have been a few limited instances where we have not seen eye to eye on a particular point, but we've always kisssed and made up.
