I haven't heard of any frequent problems of C5s catching fire. Sorry about your friend's car and house.

Glad I saw this video, I was ready to buy the McDonalds story as I have nearly overheated waiting on Kippy to keep the line moving there before.

Watched a '91 Corvette catch on fire here in the apartment complex where I live. It was caused by an oil leak on the exhaust that the owner was planning on getting fixed. Guess he waited a hair too long.

Which is why I never put off a repair, especially a cheap one when it comes to stuff leaking. Those get fixed ASAP. I had a $60 seal leak turn into a $450 rear end replacement in a old car I had once. Never again.
