“The first time I filled the tank the car caught on fire. It ran goo in the 39 days I had it, appart from being hesitant to change gear at times. On sunday while taking my kids on a trip to great adventure,I was just over the betsy ross bridge when I notice smoke through my rear view. I hurriedly pulled over and in a few second we notice the smoke was under the hood. And we stand there we notice melted rubber or wire was dropping down on the pavement so we grabbed a few things from the car and kept our distance untill the police and fire truck appeared.”
