What do you mean? To me, it looks like it's just chilling in a parking lot, like it caught on fire while driving, so the driver pulled into the parking lot and bailed.

This car was running a flex fuel prototype. Something went wrong with the install. Gotta break a couple eggs to make an omelette sometimes, but that really sucks and it's downright scary.

Yep, the owner is on here. He was running a Vortech supercharger and Visconti's flex fuel kit. They suspect a fuel leak caused the fire. But nothing has been released yet.

So was this an FR-S or a BRZ? We need to know in order to properly stereotype the owner!

Ouch! hopefully it gets worked out for those involved and a warning to
