This was the lead story on the Nashville 10 pm news. They said dental records would be used to attempt to ID the body. They also said it was a very suspicious wreck because the car was incinerated on the inside, but the gas tank, engine and outside of the car did not burn.

the old exploding cigarette trick?

"the old exploding cigarette trick?"

Along with the old "Brakes that Fail" and "Steering Problem" Tricks. These guys need some new routines. Something more "GenX", more "High Tech", more "Imaginative". You know, like "Propellers Falling Off", "Tail Broke Off", stuff like that!

Of course, they are kinda Inbred.

The inside burned, but not the outside? I find little reason to believe that this was not a murder.

Check out the video at this Memphis TV station.

Story with video link.

Shows the site of the "crash". May not be a crash, per se - just a roll up to a pole, then the torching. Interesting.

No, spontaneous vehicular combustion. (Forgive me if this joke was used, I haven't read all the replies yet!) :-)
