Yeah, because there's only been one report of an A8 problem. Give me a break.

They are, there is nothing left to the vehicle. Everything in the engine bay is melted, including the block.

↑ Glad you walked away from this.

I've seen several car fires and only one where the occupant was not so fortunate. Man that image and smell will never leave your memory.

Keep us updated as best you can regarding the cause, not that I think this is anything but an isolated incident but knowing what to be aware of can't hurt.

Really feel bad for you, have they determined the cause yet? Will you get another Z06?
