This is a photo my dad took right outside of his house, on Talmadge Road, in Toledo, Ohio. I'm no expert, but what do you think happened which caused this to occur AFTER the car was attached to the tow truck?

Gas? Gas is made from what? That's right, oil. And we all know who is in the pocket of big oil... Bush.

It's Bush's fault.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that it was a combination of heat, fuel and air.

Hey, if I had an exploding car, I'd take it outside of my house, too.

Must have been the center fuel tank when exposed to a short from wires.

Wait. Wrong explosion.

Hmmm. How about this: tow truck driver plays radio loud and/or pays no attention, towed vehicle blows tire, driver continues, angle of towed vehicle causes puncture and/or friction because of missing tire, fire ensues.

"My...it looks awful green and mighty warm for Ohio this time of year."

Photo was taken a while ago. Happened to find it and scan it in. The photo was taken with an old, old, old camera, probably from the early 90s.
