In this 2008 FILE PHOTO the Monmouth Junction and Kingston fire departments responded to a car fire
How appropriate that the article right underneath this one is about Charles Darwin ...
I’ve often wondered why smokers can’t use their car’s ashtray.
I have nothing against smokers, but really, can’t you use the ashtray in your car?
Mine holds coins, but it is really meant for butts.
Tell me again why teenagers are finding it difficult to land jobs?
Figured she would have been driving a Golf.
I have to ask a question though, how much crap was in this woman’s car?
The butt hit something combustible. Not the carpet or seat. I think they are made to be fire resistant. That being said, again, it’s what the ashtray is for. Use it.
On a nice day, I like to roll down my car windows. But some character in front of me will toss a butt, still burning, out the window, and let me tell you I have had a few close calls.
So what does she do? She pulls up to the house so the fire can damage it also. Sheesh.
It sucks for her, but as a biker, I find this absolutely funny. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dodged cigarettes carelessly flicked out of cars that I’m behind. I had a co-worker that also rides tell me that he was behind a car once where they threw a butt out.. it bounced off the road and right into his crotch. Luckily, he was paying attention and grabbed it before he got burnt. He was kind enough to move into the left lane at the next stop light and return the butt to the owner.. in the same fashion he received it.
Once you wreck a car by smoking in it, you may as well torch it. I’m not a big fan of anti smoking laws, but it’s amazing that people used to be allowed to smoke on planes.
That’s not a Honda Civic in the picture.
After reading caption on photo...
Why would they included a two year old picture in the story of a different car?
Carpet and upholstery doesn’t burn very well, it is designed to go out. What kind of junk was in the car to catch fire.
I know somebody that did this years ago.
“When you get on the whiskey, let somebody else drive.”
Why do I think this is the type of person that must vote Democrat . . .
Double, double toil and trouble
Auto burn, and Civic's rubble.
My only regret is that this idiot didn't self immolate.
Don't get me wrong. Love smokers, and they get a bad rap. But a LONG way towards them being treated like rational human beings, would be for these scumbags to ACT like rational human beings and not throw fire around haphazardly in wildfire zones (or elsewhere for that matter).
