"A brand new silver Tata Nano, heralded as the world's cheapest car, stands in flames on the suburbs of Mumbai, India, Sunday, March 21, 2010. The car belonging to Satish Sawant, a software engineer, burst into flames as he was proudly driving it home from the showroom, draped with a celebratory garland of marigolds. Sawant managed to get his wife and five-year-old son out of the back seat before the smoke billowing from the rear engine turned into flames that engulfed the tiny car."

Oh, that Tata was on fire! I thought it was something along these lines:

Ban all marigolds—they cause fires.

“A chauffeur initially was at the wheel, but Sawant said he had taken over driving before the fire broke out. Tata has offered Sawant a replacement Nano or a refund.”
A chauffer? For that thing? Where’d they put the kid, on the hood? Tata taters.

Bodacious TATAs.
What does a car fire do to the carbon footprint, anyway?

New questions about the safety of the pint-sized auto are being raised, however, after one of them burst into flames Sunday as it was being driven home from the showroom. I've heard of devaluation after leaving the lot; but, this is ridiculous!
