46. Have you ever seen a parking lot fire?

It starts with one car

If you get an underhood fire going in a car which is parked next to another car, then you are going to soon have 2 cars on fire.

This is the entire rental fleet at an airport in Florida:

Fun fact about rental car parking lots. They are full of cars and empty of people outside of business hours, and the Nantucket airport rental operation is not buzzing with activity 24/7, so a fire has time to go places.

Here's the Carowinds Amusement Park:

Do a Google Image search on "parking lot fire" and show me the parking lot with several adjacent cars where only ONE car burned.

Miami Dolphins game:

Woburn Mass transit lot:

How did SIX cars burn in that one?

I don't know why I've just found out about this... CBHagman Nov 2022 #70

Park in the lot away from the stores Effete Snob Nov 2022 #71

The chance of the recall defect actually causing the fire, though-- Wingus Dingus Nov 2022 #13

Obviously there is a chance of it happening Effete Snob Nov 2022 #20

Yeah, I understand the recall issue. However, because these cars were used Wingus Dingus Nov 2022 #24

"hopefully investigators will...you know...investigate" Effete Snob Nov 2022 #26

No, if these were used for Secret Service, staff, related to Presidential visit-- Wingus Dingus Nov 2022 #29

So, the Expedition was the primary cause of the fire and the other vehicles were OAITW r.2.0 Nov 2022 #14

That's what the pictures look like. Mr.Bill Nov 2022 #44

MSM reported the fire risk recall of the Ford Expedition Effete Snob Nov 2022 #6

Hmmmm? Does the Secret Service have some answering to do? brush Nov 2022 #7

Fire has this unique ability to spread TheProle Nov 2022 #10

As does misinformation and rumor Effete Snob Nov 2022 #15

And I for one don't completely trust the Secret Service after how... brush Nov 2022 #47

Oh, okay Effete Snob Nov 2022 #49

There you go again projecting your plot imaginings onto someone else. brush Nov 2022 #50

Well, Kamala's vehicle has a rather suspicious mishap lately. SheltieLover Nov 2022 #31

Did you bother to look at the pictures? Effete Snob Nov 2022 #12

It looks to me that one car burst into flames which spread to others. Bev54 Nov 2022 #21

You said it clearly was a plot. I asked a question. brush Nov 2022 #30

Obviously, you didn't look at the pictures Effete Snob Nov 2022 #32

Ok, make a big deal of the phrase "burst into flame", have at it. brush Nov 2022 #33

Yes, you can see that in the pictures Effete Snob Nov 2022 #34

Clear to you maybe, but what about the "burst into flames" phrase? brush Nov 2022 #35

So what? Effete Snob Nov 2022 #36

"So what?" Why did you get on me about that phrase when it was in the OP? brush Nov 2022 #37

If you must know Effete Snob Nov 2022 #62

If you can't believe what you read in a British tabloid, then what can you believe? NT mahatmakanejeeves Nov 2022 #39

"What's the big deal anyway over that wording?" mahatmakanejeeves Nov 2022 #48

Were you there? brush Nov 2022 #52

Why, no, I was not. mahatmakanejeeves Nov 2022 #53

I think it does not come naturally Effete Snob Nov 2022 #63

Thanks. elleng Nov 2022 #68

Hint: The President doesn't ride in a Hertz rental from the airport. brooklynite Nov 2022 #22

Helluva fucking coincidence, and I don't believe in coincidence Kennah Nov 2022 #27

Which coincidence are you reffering to? Zeitghost Nov 2022 #77

I'm thinking this was intentional. Some RWAH carrying out an attack on the President. Kennah Nov 2022 #79

So many holes in that "theory" Zeitghost Nov 2022 #81
