When I read that the first time, it reminded me of the author (and I wish I know who it was) who told the fanatics of the world that if they want to buy and burn his book they're more than welcome, and to contact his publisher for quantity discounts. It also reminded me that the most dangerous thing about a car fire isn't the car exploding (unless it's from Hollywood, of course, where cars' entire frames are packed with explosives and there are detonators set to go off under any shock, or when when all four wheels leave the ground). It's the amazingly toxic fumes produced by the various plastics in the interior of the car. Yeah: it's not your gas tank that's going to kill you, it's your seats.
