Gee if I thought like that, I would definately lose my mind. You are looking at it the wrong way. I have good luck. Yeah, the car caught fire, but I could jump in it and drive it right now. Well, I'd have to clean the black off of the windows, and my clothes would get filthy, but aside from a little piece of melted carpet, the small headliner in the back being melted, and the melted interior light in the back, the car is just dirty inside. It needed a good cleaning anyways, and I the carpet in the back was fraying a little at the edges anyways, so I was planning on replacing that. And, the front headliner was coming down, so I was going to replace that too. I've always wanted darker interior, so I guess I got it.
I still have the car, and didn't lose it to fire. It was also parked close to the house and under a tree. It could have really been bad.
My wife keeps saying that she is sorry if she had only looked at it, maybe she could have caught it and minimized the damage.
I keep telling her that if she had seen that it was actually burning, then she would have either called the fire dept, in which case, they would have come and smashed a window that I probably can't replace, and would have flooded the car with water. Or, if she had tried to fight it herself, would have opened the hatch glass, letting all of the air that it needed in, and caused the fire to be much worse, and possibly gotten hurt in the process. Everything turned out just fine as far as I am concerned.
