OK, So, where are the massive recalls of Halogen headlights? Even if the story above was plausible, it would never happen. If they recalled halogen automobile lamps, could the household ones be far behind? Thar would mean a return to incandescent.

240 degrees F is NOT “far above” the boiling point of water, which is 212 dgrees F.
And I can tell you with certainty that ethylne glycol based antifreeze does NOT catch fire at 240 degrees F.
I have accidently dumped it on the hot exhaust manifold of a running car and all it did was HISS very loudly as it turned to steam (brake fluid, on the other hand...).
It is possible automotive antifreeze might ignite if undiluted product was squirted from a nozzle, as atomized spray, directly in to an open flame, but that would not have happened in this case without some help.
These people are full of shiite.

Put me in the category of someone who finds those new bluish halogen headlights to be a road hazard to oncoming traffic. I agree with you on that remark, especially when they top a hill. I really hate the drivers who are too busy or forget to hit the low beams for oncoming traffic. The high beams even blind you during daytime hours.

I have worked with antifreeze for many years and have never known any to catch fire. But, what the hell, this is as good as the center fuel tank explosion on flight 800. The fire at Mt. Carmel. Vince Foster’s suicide of any other explanation that the Government comes up with.

Her family also has been dealing with a brother, Blair Westbrook, who suffered severe brain injury last summer in a motorcycle accident.
Brian Wolff, a close friend, said he spoke Sunday with Turton about how her brothers therapy was being cut off. I was telling her we should set up a foundation, said Wolff, a senior vice president at the Edison Electric Institute and a former top political House Democratic adviser to Pelosi.

Side point about her brother:
Only a lib with a high six figure income, would think that someone else should pay for her own brother’s medical needs that are “being cut off.”

From January 11,
![](http://www.tdbimg.com/files/2011/01/11/img-article---wingert-ashley-turton_104930654186.jpg)
The garage where Ashley Turton was found dead in a car fire in a Capitol Hill neighborhood in Washington DC on Jan. 10, 2011. (Photo: Win McNamee / Getty
.........."Based on evidence at the scene, D.C. Fire Department spokesman Pete Piringer said investigators' "leading theory" is that Turton was trying to maneuver her BMW SUV out of her garage at 5 a.m. and around a car in the driveway when she apparently came into contact with some kind of flammable chemicals or other explosive materials. A workbench was located near the garage opening, he said.
Were waiting for lab results, said Piringer. Its possible it was related to something mechanical, some kind of malfunction or it may be that she hit something in the garage, or something like a tricycle got stuck underneath the car. He said Turtons air bag did not deploy, indicating that if she did hit something, it was done at low speed. Piringer said that it was only once the fire was out and heavy smoke dissipated that responders could see that there was a body inside the car. "............

It would be more believable if they just said the car was struck by a meteor.
