That's why I insist on my friends not smoking in or around my car. They get pissed but I don't want ashes floating around and potentially starting fire. It's a stupid and expensive habit anyway.

I think I will just be honest and tell them I do smoke, because I'm almost certain it wasn't from smoking. I'll update once everything has been settled. Thanks everyone.

So, I took her to the dealership and they have no clue what is going on. I'm suppose to be leaving from vaca this week and they said they would have to get a rep to come out and look at it.... what a waste of time.

Wait, you were smoking at the time, and you'd rather believe that the car spontaneously caught on fire, just because your cigarette happened to still have 'a' cherry attached? I think a hot piece of ash could have easily fallen several minutes earlier, blown under the seat and taken several minutes to get a small fire started.

At this point, any other theory is absurd.

I had a lighter in my pants once, and my pocket caught on fire.
I took my pants back to the pants store and they said they had no idea what happened. To this very day I have NO idea how my pocket caught on fire :bonk:

Pants on fire

While I agree it seems the likelihood of the fire being from a cig, the fire was coming from inside the seat, not from the carpet on the bottom. A piece of the seat had fallen from the seat and that was the first piece I picked up and threw out of the car. If it was a cig then it would have been burning from the carpet up to the seat.

The rear seats are not heated, only the front.

Were you hitting NOS? We all know that would cause the floor board rivets to pop out and shoot sparks.
