“I had a scary morning! The driver's seat in my car caught fire this morning. I dropped the kids off at the babysitters house and I left my car running. I go back out and thought I smelled smoke. I thought well maybe my seat had some paper or some trash on it so I turned it off. I drove about 4 blocks and I felt like my leg was on fire. So I pulled over and I saw this smoke coming out of my seat and about a 1-1 1/2 inch slit where my seat had been burnt! So I drove to the car dealership driving in an awkward position. Apparently this happens all the time? …”
