Speaking of failures we have a new report of a new spring breaking and dropping a valve. This sounds suspect to me. Probably didn't get a good set on the keepers and it popped.

Popping hood could easily be fuel system failure and explosion/ignition after the initial fire started, and loss of traction simply means ABS/ESC system had failed/melted from the same fire. From the description, there were no oil pressure lights, no check engine lights, etc. Those would be lit up with a rod through the cases.
