Well, my mother-in-law stopped by to drop something off for my wife.  5 minutes after arriving my wife looks out the front window and says "Mom, your car is smoking!"  Sure enough, her engine had caught fire and soon it was a huge pillar of fire and smoke.  My day just got more interesting than it was going to be lol.

Impressive!

I know Traditionally mother in laws are supposed to be a bit evil, but that's the first one I've heard with the power to combust cars! ;d.

Does sh go in for world domination as a full time job or only on the weekends.

Seriously, I'm glad it happened when everyone was out of the car and people are okay, and I Hope this doesn't involve too much burocratic shenanigans with insurance and such.

hmm, what burns did the car have? Second degree burns? Third degree burns? Or did it just spontaneously combust? If it spontaneously combusted, was there splash damage? By playing techonoshock I learned that fireballs that explode cause splash damage. Is this the case of what happened to your wife's car? Or was it your mother in law's? I didn't really understand the first post. Oh well.

lol
It was my wife's mother's car.
The fire department did arrive in time to keep the fire from getting too out of control.  The back half of her car was pretty much unharmed, but the front half burned up.  The windshield glass started to melt and fire was dripping down onto the road beneath the hood so the concrete itself is black and burnt.  All of the tires popped and melted while we watched, and burning car made a lot of very unsettling noises.  A few of the noises had everyone stepping back even farther because it sounded like the build up of something about to pop out of the car toward us.  As it turns out, nothing ever ended up popping out toward anyone though.  It is cold outside so I haven't taken a closer look at the aftermath yet, but when I do I expect our tree will have been burned in some places.  Her car was parked next to it, but being winder there aren't leaves on the tree so it was much more resistant to the burning car below.  Had this happened in the summer, the fire department might have had a burning tree on their hands as well haha.

Poor tree. I hope it's less integral to things than the tree behind my parents' house.

Sinse my parents' house is built on what used to be an old chalk quarry, (though now is the middle of Nottingham city), there's a dirty great hill and some waste ground behind, pluss a couple of very large trees who's routes pretty much hold everything together ;D.

So I hope your tree isn't that structurally important ;D.

Is it sad that my response to the description of the fire was "was a microphone handy"?
... I've gotten that way about everything lately. It's scary. The other day my sister said she was going to go vomit; I told her to bring her MP3 player to record it. yikes
My computer decided to freak out when I had it all ready to record the firepit at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Eh, well, at least I won't have to worry about Disney complaining about me using their flames.

Seriously, though, glad it wasn't any worse. Melting windshields sound dramatic...
