My car caught on fire.
Literally ON FIRE. The interior is ruined. The car is totaled... Thank god my kid had gotten out and went inside to work because it happened at his work in a parking lot.
Thank god there and not at MY office where I park in a parking spot behind my building. It would have caught the trees on fire. My building. Fuck...
Im so glad my kid is safe.
Im in total shock about my car...
I just was staring at it. My kid was in shock sobbing, Mind you he is 21. hes apologizing having a panic attack and im just I dont even know...
Someone came into his building saying hey there is a red car on fire out there. He grabbed a fire extinguisher and ran outside and sure enough... my car.
We watched the dash cam footage and could see when the fire started smoking ( 2 50), 2 minutes later the alarm goes off, it popped the hatch back and opened the windows as a last ditch safety feature before the fuse boxes burned out entirely. And then the dash cam died because well. The battery boxes burned up...
B got it put out, and called me in shock before the fire dept showed up.
I was on my way to get my labwork done and just rerouted the 30 minutes to him and the firemen were like those safety features are cool. Yeah they are. It would have saved someones dog, or people in the back seat.
We cleaned out everything. I grabbed the manual and registration and shit. Waited 2 hours for a tow. Fucking car was locked up and he had to drag it onto the flatbed, The transsmission was locked. We cant pop the hood because surprise. THAT BURNED UP TOO. And all the interior shit. He had to drag it up, and then dropping it again, the tires wont roll. It was a mess, it took 1.5 hrs for him to get there, another 1.5 hrs to get the car loaded and off. And Im just in shock.
Like the water in the shower cant wash off the burned electrical smell. and i had it up as hot as it would god and fucking cold and shivvering still.
I did get hot mc Donald's fries while waiting because wtf else can I do.
Because we couldent disconnect the battery, it can catch on fire again.... The service guys get there at 8 30. Ill be there too.
As a last ditch lmao. We threw the keys on the seat. You cant drive it, turn it on, anything, so who cares about the keys. B got his 8 bucks from the center and I got my adderalls lmao... Like there was nothing worth anything in the car. some hoodies? a inflatable gingerbread man from last christmas.... my lunch bag, 2 cases of soda, which are fine BTW, I drank 4 sodas while waiting for the guy.
so yeah.. fuck me. Merry Christmas kids... We gotta buy a car.
