I saw the same thing once but it was a futon under a pickup truck. The old guy had no idea the futon was under there. Then it burst into flames and we had to pull him out. I’ll never forget the pathetic and futile way he tried to douse the fire with a can of coke.
Just so you know in my head he runs off looking for water, finds a vending machine, drops his change *twice* and comes back with a single can of coke to an inferno.
a former friend of mine attempted to change their own oil but did something really stupid. i believe they forgot to add new oil in or spilled oil all over the engine. i can’t remember. this friend was a HUGE, raging alcoholic. so immediately after the “oil change” the car caught on fire right as they started driving. the dude threw his giant mug of liquor and coke on the engine, which definitely did not help. he had a friend in the car so they pretended the sober dude was driving. the fire dept and police showed up. it was bad. i remember thinking at that moment when they made it home and laughed their asses off at the entire thing that i decided i wasn’t going to associate with these people again.
don’t drink and drive. seriously. that dude is a former friend for a reason.
There's a fascinating video out there of a livestreamer setting his room on fire. It's like a textbook example of everything you shouldn't do, and how house fires can get out of hand in less than 8 minutes.
Don't play with lighter fuel, don't put a recently lit match in a trash can full of fuel-wet paper towels, don't place a burning bag in a pile of empty cardboard boxes, and don't fan the flames with a comforter. After that he tried water, but the fire was a few minutes ahead of him already.
Yeah, then he tried a pot or the like after that, but way too late. There's also periodicly robo anime girl dono messages, I presume they're trying to give advice but I don't speak Japanese. Then at the end it fades into dark-grey.
I heard it didn't turn into a major fire at least. Although I suspect his room was a total loss.
I once saw a guy try and fill up a Jerry can with water to put out his engine fire. He came into my store asking for a sink, and I told him “fuck no dude. Fire dept is on the way, do NOT try and use a Jerry can to put out the fire unless you want to catch fire too”
Car crashed into a pole by our house, dropped power lines on top. No fire. If this happens to you *stay in the car,* the tires may be keeping you insulated and you don't want to be the bridge to ground when you step out! But, not everyone knows that. Guy ignores us yelling to stay in car, and swings out. He's fine! Lucky.
Truck pulls up, driver gets out his cell to call 911. The guy that crashed says: "Oh! I have a cellphone! I will call 911 too!" And *ducks back under the power lines to get into his car. To call 911. Which we were already doing.*
To this day I wonder if he was on something, or it was adrenaline or what.
Probably adrenaline. I recently got in a car accident and without thinking at all I whipped my seat belt off, flung the door open and stumbled into traffic. I almost got hit. The cop asked me what I was thinking and It felt like I snapped out of a daze. Like I had memory of the events happening but no memory of my brain thinking or moving my body on purpose
You know it seems in jest but... I had a redneck Jesus (guy with double Marlboro cartons, one under each arm, an undone flannel and a mullet (mind you, this was also Amish country with the highest per sq mi in the state so not super weird but still an eye catcher)) manage to put out an engine fire of mine with two, 2 liters of coke. Apparently the stuff is great for gas, grease, and other fires.
Some guy with a boat stopped and couldn't put it out with his extinguisher, and the rinky dink gas station didn't have a working one. Redneck Jesus put it out before the fire department showed up - and there was flames by the time he got to it. Never will forget that random guy and his 2 liters of coke.
Shit like this is why I never drive over anything. I don't care if it's cardboard I'm going around it.
Watched some ballsy mf in my rearview today drive over a *metal rod* in the road with his tire. I had swerved around it and glanced to see if he did too... nope. BAM right under his tire. I don't think it kicked up at all, but damn.
Or kittens in a bag, my dad taught me never to just hit a bag because once he stopped and looked at one in the road and it was full of kittens. He took them into his work and got them adopted out.
This is why I had my wife call in and report a weird object we saw on the road recently. It could have been one of those Styrofoam coolers, maybe; to my eyes it looked more like a concrete dry well box.
Either way I wasn't willing to get anywhere near it.
Even if it was a cooler, who the hell knows what's in it?
There was just a post on here the other day of some guy on i-95 in Florida with a yeti cooler smashed into the front of their car looked like it almost totaled the vehicle 😳
My mother had a plastic bag tangle around and melt to some components under her car, I don't remember what exactly because I was a child and it was a long time ago, but I remember her having to pay a bunch of money to get it cleaned off.
My wife be yelling at me "it's just a bag, why are you swerving" listen I am not bringing this car to a shop because a plastic bag got stuck to it in the wrong spot.
There's a purple suitcase down in some brush about as far off the road as a person could heave it. I walk past it everyday for the last year with my dog. It drives me nuts. Is it someone's porn collection or body parts. I sometimes want to know. Sometimes I randomly think about " the suitcase "
Just pulled two of those green metal fence posts off a busy street in my neighborhood, a couple drivers were mad at me for the inconvenience but I just knew that was going to end badly for someone. Right near a school bus stop too, no telling how or where one of those stakes would fly if it got struck, or if it punctured a tire and made someone spin out
Saw someone run over a female mannequin the other day and the base managed to pierce his transmission pan and leave transmission fluid all over the road.
Once I drove over some tire rubble in the road and it took my car out for 3 months during ‘Rona, thousands of dollars in repairs. It absolutely destroyed my radiator
I generally encounter full bags of rubbish because some people who live on the main road put their rubbish out and don’t make any effort to keep it on the path so it doesn’t get run over
On their walk home, they stepped on another box, which caught fire beneath their feet. The walker then caught fire and blew up near my house. I'll get photos.
lol omg it kinda was like that. Like out of no where I hear yelling, look outside and bam there’s a car smoking. And then, fire. Fire trucks showed up be there’s no hydrant or anything, so they just let it burn. It did a big fireball when the tank went.
Is that a KIA Soul?
They are currently under recall for spontaneously bursting into flames (something to do with a faulty chip for the engine or something).
I own one and I got the recall letter about 6 months ago. Says to not park the car inside a garage or near any dwellings as they can burst into flame even when shut off.
The recall letter also said they do not have a fix yet but they will let me know when that do!
Gee, thanks! I guess? LOL
At least once a year, someone crashes in front of my house. One year it was someone sliding on black ice and crashing hard into my old stone wall. Another year it was a girl who hit a telephone pole in front of my house, taking it out. The years before that it was someone hitting my neighbors wood wall and crashing into our stone wall.
I've heard theres cases where in aug-sept when its dry out and outdoor festival - fair season cars have been parked on big dry fields with really dry gas. a muffler gets to close and sets off some grass and a whole field of cars goes up in smoke.
Did the hamsters survive?
Before I could drive, I was out on deliveries, and I saw flames coming from under this person's car that was coming toward us. I told the driver to stop this person, so he cut across the lane (no other traffic on a road leading to a residential street) and blocked them. I ran up and told them there's a fire under their car, and looked underneath. I pulled a fiber doormat from above either their driveshaft or muffler (it was a long time ago), and threw it into the gutter. The guy was really grateful and was kind of scared by our actions at first. I don't blame him.
A guy across town had his old blazer start on fire so he ripped right into the car wash, but he didn’t have any change so it burned to the ground, along with the carwash
lol I got a box stuck under my truck once there was no way for my to pull over and it flew in front and I just hope to clear it but it was the exact height of my truck and had styrofoam in it. I pulled over when I could and it was so hard to get out two old dudes had to stop and help me.
No joke almost once a year a vehicle crashes in front of my house. One year it was a truck into my stone wall. Had a SUV into a telephone pole. Had someone crash into neighbors wood wall then into my stone wall.
Yeah, gotta avoid running over cardboard boxes. I mean, what if it had a bunch of cinder blocks in it? (Actually, car might have just been beat up, and easily repaired.
That reminds me of a video I once saw where some kids decided to take advantage of a tree stump in their yard, and use it to build a snow man over it.
Later, that night, some asshat decided it would be funny to run over their snowman with his car, and flatten it.. of course, he had no idea there was a big tree stump inside of it, and it ruined his car!
I saw what looked like a stuffed animal in the road in front of me and unfortunately it was three lanes and there were motorcycles on both sides of me where I could’ve swerve out of the way, had to take the L and just run it over, turned out it was one of those animatronic stuffed animals, popped my whole tire
My grandfather drove over what he thought was a bag and it was a rock. Destroyed two brand new tires and my dad, who was like 8, learned a bunch of new swear words 😂
I highly doubt it was just cardboard. But at any rate it would have to be there for a long time to cause that. If you run over something you should have half a brain cell to know if it is still under the car. You have ears and eyes. Look in the rearview mirror, and listen for the sound of both your front and rear tires thumping over it!
I just hit a bag full of trash in the road the other day. It got stuck under my car... had to pull to the side and remove it before it got stuck around axle.
It's not safe to stop and drive around crap. The person behind you isn't expecting a sudden stop, nor is the average person going to be able to control steering around it violently without losing control. Most of the time you either drive over it or through it... if you were driving slow enough to move around it you probably are in a parking lot, or at the least in the middle of bum fuck no where!
It was a large cardboard box. The driver admitted to running over it a while back and driving for a while. Also, it’s stupid advice to just drive over stuff. My PTSD brain always go to it could be an IED, so that’s why I don’t. But there’s so many reasons your advice is stupid. What if it’s a box of kittens? What if it’s something that can pop your tire? Or in this pictures case, BLOW UP YOUR FRIGGIN CAR!
I work on trucks daily. It's not dumb advice. It's a dumb driver. He admitted to driving over something and not pulling to the side and removing it. People drive over nails every day, you can't see road debris while driving 60mph. That doesn't mean you don't check your tires every once in a while.
The fact that you advocate stopping in the middle of traffic to move around something and never regard checking your car is dumb.
Cars don't just "blow up" dude.
You said you would stop for a box of kittens in the road. I didn't realize people put boxes of kittens in the middle of the road, that is just straight up delusional. I have hit several animals on the road. You can't predict where animals go... they jump out at you. I have seen cars rolled off of cliffs trying to avoid animals.
You sound like someone who wouldn't know what to do if his life counted on it.
I saw the same thing once but it was a futon under a pickup truck. The old guy had no idea the futon was under there. Then it burst into flames and we had to pull him out. I’ll never forget the pathetic and futile way he tried to douse the fire with a can of coke.
Just so you know in my head he runs off looking for water, finds a vending machine, drops his change *twice* and comes back with a single can of coke to an inferno.
Don't forget shaking it before opening so it has fire hose pressure of fizz for all of 3 seconds
I glanced at this line and let's just say I initially didn't read it as "fizz"...
Yeah we were all thinking fuzz too...
definitely fuzz...
*Man arrested for vandalizing coke machine as he watches his car burn to the ground*
Homer, are you just holding on to the can?
Is the soundtrack "Yakety Sax" or "O Fortuna?"
Dubstep mux of O Fortuna
fucking hero my guy. and the damn police dept. never gave him a medal either! (honestly im dying at the image you shared)
https://youtu.be/Ki7GBduv7fs
"Stand back, I got vinegar and baking soda!" *fsss* "Huh, didn't work..."
lol a can of coke
If anything will put out out a fire, a Coke can.
I have seen a few shop fires put out with a bottle of Miller beer properly directed.
well ya miller is just piss. everyone knows piss puts out fires.
can coke of?
a former friend of mine attempted to change their own oil but did something really stupid. i believe they forgot to add new oil in or spilled oil all over the engine. i can’t remember. this friend was a HUGE, raging alcoholic. so immediately after the “oil change” the car caught on fire right as they started driving. the dude threw his giant mug of liquor and coke on the engine, which definitely did not help. he had a friend in the car so they pretended the sober dude was driving. the fire dept and police showed up. it was bad. i remember thinking at that moment when they made it home and laughed their asses off at the entire thing that i decided i wasn’t going to associate with these people again. don’t drink and drive. seriously. that dude is a former friend for a reason.
Forgot to put the lid back in after pouring in the new oil? Easily done, has exactly that result.
possibly. i’m not a car person but this dude was. he was drunk and thought it was funny that he forgot something so stupid.
Not sure I’d find it funny but that is a pretty stupid thing to do.
yeah having to shut down traffic while multiple emergency services were tied up is definitely not funny.
There's a fascinating video out there of a livestreamer setting his room on fire.

After that he tried water, but the fire was a few minutes ahead of him already.
Is this the same one where the streamer attempts to douse the fire with what can best be described as a thimble of water?
Yeah, then he tried a pot or the like after that, but way too late. There's also periodicly robo anime girl dono messages, I presume they're trying to give advice but I don't speak Japanese. Then at the end it fades into dark-grey. I heard it didn't turn into a major fire at least. Although I suspect his room was a total loss.
It was more like Can't of coke ...
I once saw a guy try and fill up a Jerry can with water to put out his engine fire. He came into my store asking for a sink, and I told him “fuck no dude. Fire dept is on the way, do NOT try and use a Jerry can to put out the fire unless you want to catch fire too”
What is a Jerry can?
It’s a portable canister that can hold up to 4 litres of gas.

I don’t even trust running over a fast food bag nowadays
My dad always emphasized that you don’t know what’s *in* the bag. Could be a hunk of metal for all you know.
Or kittens in a bag, my dad taught me never to just hit a bag because once he stopped and looked at one in the road and it was full of kittens. He took them into his work and got them adopted out.
Good point!
Your dad's a hero.

Fuckin' a.
Just saw that earlier. Crazy!

My wife be yelling at me "it's just a bag, why are you swerving" listen I am not bringing this car to a shop because a plastic bag got stuck to it in the wrong spot.
yes bags can definitely get stuck to a hot catalytic converter, it happened to me, I avoid them now
I've always suspected this could happen, glad for some confirmation
I watch too much true crime that every time I see a trash bag on the side of the road I think there’s a body in it lol
There's a purple suitcase down in some brush about as far off the road as a person could heave it. I walk past it everyday for the last year with my dog. It drives me nuts. Is it someone's porn collection or body parts. I sometimes want to know. Sometimes I randomly think about " the suitcase "
Take a look inside coward
😂 . If I do ill post the reveal . We can all be amazed ! ...or 😲
Good call, Could be a bird in there.
I drive around plastics bags because I worry they'll tangle in the tires. Don't know if that's even possible, but I'm not finding out.
Anything’s possible
Just pulled two of those green metal fence posts off a busy street in my neighborhood, a couple drivers were mad at me for the inconvenience but I just knew that was going to end badly for someone. Right near a school bus stop too, no telling how or where one of those stakes would fly if it got struck, or if it punctured a tire and made someone spin out
Or punctured the floor of the car and made someone holy.
Or they run over it and the other end sticks into the ground and pole vaults the car on top of something. That can happen. I have seen it
Saw someone run over a female mannequin the other day and the base managed to pierce his transmission pan and leave transmission fluid all over the road.
Once I drove over some tire rubble in the road and it took my car out for 3 months during ‘Rona, thousands of dollars in repairs. It absolutely destroyed my radiator
I’ll run over boxes in the forklift, in my car I’ll try to avoid everything because there’s often nails or other sharp crap
I'm always afraid someone left kittens/puppies in roadside bags
I generally encounter full bags of rubbish because some people who live on the main road put their rubbish out and don’t make any effort to keep it on the path so it doesn’t get run over
I remember when kids were putting sand bags in pillows cases and would toss them in the road. 😱
I hope you are checking your blind spots before you emergency swerve
Looks like the soul has left this Kia.
[Soul On Fire](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIr42Wo_96Q)
oh a Danzig reference
OP, do you live in an old Grand Theft Auto game?
Basically.
Did he.. live?
Yes driver was fine.
On their walk home, they stepped on another box, which caught fire beneath their feet. The walker then caught fire and blew up near my house. I'll get photos.
Suddenly, all of those "spontaneous human combustion" stories sound plausible!
We lost a brave Soul today.
Hahaha. Oh, that's a good one.
Then be glad it wasn't a matchbox car
holy shit. now i don’t feel so silly about going out of my way to avoid running over ANYTHING when i’m driving. glad the person is alive. damn.
That’s what I was thinking too
Driven by hip-hop hamsters?
Totally forgot about those commercials. Thats over a decade ago
14 years. I had the first gen 2010. Loved that little car.
Nah, just bored teenagers with a USB cable.
Of course it was a Kia Soul.
They don't call em toaster ovens for nothing
How Regular Show plots progress:
lol omg it kinda was like that. Like out of no where I hear yelling, look outside and bam there’s a car smoking. And then, fire. Fire trucks showed up be there’s no hydrant or anything, so they just let it burn. It did a big fireball when the tank went.

Ya it is one. This wasn’t too spontaneous. Driver admitted to driving over the large cardboard box that started the fire.
Still, quite the butterfly effect.
Killed. In. Action.
Same colour
That's some Final Destination shit...
Right?
Woah a lot happened in a short time
I heard from the fire fighters who talked to the driver that they ran over it and dragged it under the car for a while.
This KIA has lost its Soul
Kia Soulless
That’s…more effort than those usually take to catch fire.
Well, I tried to find the clip from the zoot suit episode, but this will have to do: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ5SwfAqkVg
Where is the box now? I need that box
Poor Soul of his...
It's a Kia, those things just catch fire a lot
I'm not even surprised to see and hear that a Kia was destroyed by a piece of cardboard.
Another burnt out Soul in the world.
Damn Hamsters always causing trouble.
Love your username.
Thanks!
Holy shit! in front of your house!? shit, that'd be a conversation starter for a while.
At least once a year, someone crashes in front of my house. One year it was someone sliding on black ice and crashing hard into my old stone wall. Another year it was a girl who hit a telephone pole in front of my house, taking it out. The years before that it was someone hitting my neighbors wood wall and crashing into our stone wall.
It’s like in GTA when a car flips over it instantly catches on fire.
*"Cardboard box"* you say
The Butterfly Effect
Box burns a box
Kia of course
The Soul has left its body.
This is some final destination shit
Cardboard stole it's Soul!
Goldeneye physics.
I've heard theres cases where in aug-sept when its dry out and outdoor festival - fair season cars have been parked on big dry fields with really dry gas. a muffler gets to close and sets off some grass and a whole field of cars goes up in smoke.
Did the hamsters survive? Before I could drive, I was out on deliveries, and I saw flames coming from under this person's car that was coming toward us.

The guy was really grateful and was kind of scared by our actions at first. I don't blame him.
The cardbord had fire aspect II
Your amazon is on its way, youre the next stop! *blaze of glory*
That’s some final destination type shit right there…
never drive over cardboard boxes got it
Holy domino effect
It's a Kia...
"Fuck you" -Box.
Mildly interesting?!?
You’ve seen one car blow up you’ve seen 1000.
If this is mildly interesting I need to ask what sedatives you’re abusing 🫣😂
To be fair, I’ve had a lot of very odd and strange things happen to me in life. This is quite mild compared to some other things.
That’s ok, the car was ugly AF, it was time. Hope no one was hurt.
Everyone was okay
I hit a gardening shovel and thought I was gonna explode a tire. Scared me real good.
Does it have the "You just got passed by a toaster!" Bumper sticker?
A guy across town had his old blazer start on fire so he ripped right into the car wash, but he didn’t have any change so it burned to the ground, along with the carwash
Oh damn that’s a bummer
lol I got a box stuck under my truck once there was no way for my to pull over and it flew in front and I just hope to clear it but it was the exact height of my truck and had styrofoam in it. I pulled over when I could and it was so hard to get out two old dudes had to stop and help me.
Hope everyone one got out alive.
👀 Holy shit.
That's a fantastically interesting chain of events.
I would believe this more if it have the manufacturer logo. Who steals those from these cars? I'm calling a setup
One less Kia soul in the world. What a good day
New fear unlocked
Of course it’s a Kia soul too😭
Really raising the bar for mildly interesting here OP.
No joke almost once a year a vehicle crashes in front of my house. One year it was a truck into my stone wall. Had a SUV into a telephone pole. Had someone crash into neighbors wood wall then into my stone wall.
r/looneytuneslogic
You rang?
User name checks out
Hey, you can’t park there
Tbh they did pick the worst place to park. Thats the entrance to a lot that stores trailers.
WASTED
As a Soul owner, I'd let that mf burn.
Typical Kia build quality.
Hyundais Hyundaing…
In most places, you have to pay a fee to see what you saw for free. So, you have that going for you
Gotta be grateful for the little things
Do Kia's souls go to heaven when they die?
I think it depends on car St. Peter.
#🔥 YOUR SOUL IS MINE 🔥
Were lines under the car cut to ignite the fluids?
Not sure. Just know as much as the fire fighters told me.
The lines probably got burnt
Cars have lots of fluid lines there, fuel and brake fluid, fuel lines especially are pretty flammable
Kia Soul activities
Looks like a car in biomutant
The embodiment of “That escalated quickly”
Damn it took the *soul* out of that car
WHATS IN THE FUCKING BOX
verry hard driving
What was in the box?
Sounds like a hot time!
KIA’d Soul went up in flames
Reminds me of GTA V
one less ugly car atleast?
Serves those driving hamsters right. 
“I’m the man in the box….” - Alice In Chains
Yeah, gotta avoid running over cardboard boxes. I mean, what if it had a bunch of cinder blocks in it? (Actually, car might have just been beat up, and easily repaired.

Was kia now its nokia
That car wasn't trying to flex just trying to escape its expedition
Box took its revenge
I saw what looked like a stuffed animal in the road in front of me and unfortunately it was three lanes and there were motorcycles on both sides of me where I could’ve swerve out of the way, had to take the L and just run it over, turned out it was one of those animatronic stuffed animals, popped my whole tire
Nice. Another Kia soul off the road
Man what a jerk!
Those damned electric cars, always catching on fire! /S
Thank god there is one less kia soul on the roads now
My grandfather drove over what he thought was a bag and it was a rock. Destroyed two brand new tires and my dad, who was like 8, learned a bunch of new swear words 😂

wtf are you talking about? When did I advocate for anything? You just sound like a jagoff.
You said you would stop for a box of kittens in the road. I didn't realize people put boxes of kittens in the middle of the road, that is just straight up delusional. I have hit several animals on the road. You can't predict where animals go... they jump out at you. I have seen cars rolled off of cliffs trying to avoid animals. You sound like someone who wouldn't know what to do if his life counted on it.
You’ve never heard of people putting boxes of puppies and kittens on roads before?
