Burned a few like that back when ..... Our sheriff recently chased a bad guy into CRP grass and burnt his SUV to the ground !!!
Fastest I’ve “ever” been on the ground was 203mph in a buddies vet he had built. Back road in Texas etc etc .
But have to admit some new vehicles these days are soooo smooth and quiet on good roads at high speeds. I was in my 2WD Tundra Crewmax and looked down at the speedo and was doing 100 plus comfortably .....
Now I use a Escort 360C radar detector with a “limit” setting of 75mph that alerts me when / if I’m speeding.....
Texas !
I’ve also used a radar detector for my own behavior modification. Between that and cruise control, no tickets for a long time. :-)
Have heard of fires from cat converters. Saw a couple before from engines running after throwing parts out the bottom end and losing oil. Some will keep running, and the noise reveals the problem. Oil flames tend to be bright, while fuel flames can sometimes be hard to see. Oil smoke runs from light blue to black depending on the size of the fire.
