The car was running very odd right before I stopped at a store. After killing the ignition the car started smoking after any about a min or less the front of the car was fully involved with flames. The fire department was dispatched and came and extinguished the fire. Everything from the firewall forward was burnt. The car was a total loss.*Ak
