Default We lost another!

I was driving to work this morning and traffic was worse the it already is , so I said to my self "probably another collision". When I got up to the fire truck, I got a shock. Their was a c4 with practically the whole front end melted off and the fire guys where just staring at it knowing they could do anything to save it. I hope the drivers all right.

........hmmmmmmmmm, C4....., 1984.....,hmmmmmmm, "cross-Fire" comes to mind.


...in all honesty, several years ago I was near a mid-40's couple looking at a C4 at Corvettes @ Carlisle. The woman said(which I overheard), "We cannot have an '84 Corvette, those Cross-Fire cars had issues catching fire".

...will never forget that one, ever.
