I was in my westy. I saw a guy get out of a huge seventies sled that had died in traffic and stick a cell phone to his ear and walk through busy traffic to a gas station nearby. Unbeknownst to him, the car, which had been smoking lighly from under the hood, started smoking a lot and dropping what looked like burning chunks of plastic or rubber onto the road beneath the engine compartment. <snip> The moral of the story: one extinguisher won't do it, and nobody else has one, so carry two. Jim No, the moral of the story? Bring marshmallows. ;~) |
