        Good stuff man, glad that you've almost erased the damage.

        This is why all of my cars have a fire extinguisher. I don't understand why they're not mandatory here... I think they are everywhere in Europe - to pass your annual tech you have to have it (along with a first aid kit). If I was an insurer here I would make it mandatory - it's often the difference between a few hundred bucks of repairs and a total writeoff.

                Awesome, back of the car burns, but damn it got the oil haha.

                Sorry to hear it happened. Crazy the way it all worked out the way it did, definitely wouldn't have happened.
