Scared the living day lights out of him, and he was a licensed Class A Auto mechanic, who took superb care of his vehicles (he is still driving the 1976 Chev pickup he bought to replace his To...

Wait... so you make a series about cars being famous for catching fire, but don't show any pictures of them on fire?
Nevermind thinking of the corvair
