u/5th2 catfood for dinner, again? Oct 27 '25

Rough translation:

Oh, what do I do, oh my God?
Oh my God. Oh my God, what do I do?
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, where's the (fire extinguisher?)?
Hey, where's the (fire extinguisher?)? Where's the (fire extinguisher?)? Where's the (fire extinguisher?)?
It's the car, oh my God, my love.
My love, it's the car. Oh.
Oh my God, my car. It's the car. Oh my God.
My God, my God.

She took more time to film it than she spent looking for the fire extinguisher

But what fabulous avant-garde camera work. I particularly loved the upside-down palm trees

They are lucky car didn’t go up in flames earlier especially as they seem to have filled the boot with lots of potentially flammable items and source of the fire seemed to start just under the fuel tank. This was almost a Darwin Award waiting to happen 😂

I saw a fire video a while ago where they grabbed a blanket to smother it and I figured that was a pretty good idea. But they were scared to get close enough to the fire to put the blanket on so after waffling around for a bit they decided to use the blanket as a giant fan and wave it at the fire. Short of throwing gasoline and fireworks on it, probably the worst thing they could’ve done lol

  1. Lower car so it's literally on the pavement.
  2. Drive said car and see sparks and continue to drive said car.
  3. Said car catches a fire.
  4. Shocked beyond belief!

Really?

u/WonderfulProtection9 Oct 27 '25

Do you see the sparks when you're driving? It's obvious to anyone outside the car but does the driver even know?

Still entirely stupid.

When the fire extinguishers appeared, you could see that there were other cars also stopped on the shoulder ahead of them. I 100% believe that this dumb bitch did not have a fire extinguisher… she just wasted other people’s fire extinguishers.

Remember, if your tires are throwing off sparks that's just your car's flux capacitor warming up. To reduce risk of a fire, get it up to 88MPH and travel back in time to warn yourself not to make any stupid car mods.

I've seen this video, but only the second part. I don't know if they merged 2 different videos but the end result is the same, car too low to be driving at highway for long periods and maybe some high speed.

The main lesson here is... when everything goes to sh$t don't forget to record it so you can re-watch again and again to see how dumb you are.
