Not much to say kinda still in shock. Was driving home last night and smelled smoke. Pulled over to see where it was coming from and saw flames. Tried to hit it with an dry chem but no luck.

was everyone ok?? Any idea what caused it??

Yeah I was alone. And have no clue.

Holy crap!

Makes me feel better about hitting Bambi in my Geo last night! Glad nobody was hurt!

Man, talk about out of nowhere!

Damn Paul, good thing you're alright! Any idea on what you're going to do?

Vehicle fires are tops in things I never want to see.

Where did you first see the smoke/ fire?

Damn. Where initially on/in the vehicle was the smoke and flame?

Wow, Glad you are ok!

jesus christ! That sucks

Good God! I am glad you are OK. Sorry about your Xterra.

Damn!

Sorry to here about it!!! Glad you are OK.

Paul,

Sorry to hear about this.....looks like a set of salvage tires

Glad nobody was hurt Paul. So sorry about your X... that's aweful

Thank God your all right.

Damn dude...

That sucks...

Glad to see no one was injured...

Man, glad you were not harmed or anyone else for that matter.

Looks like it sure burned HOT... was there any fireman response before it was all gone?

Maybe we'll see you in a new X for the Disney run ????

Good luck whatever route you go!

Holy shit, Paul! That's unbelieveable. I can't believe the tires survived unscathed. Did you lose any valuables inside the truck (besides the truck itself)?

Thanks everyone. Now off to the questions.

I first saw the smoke coming from under the dash near the center. Pulled over then flames. Was very fast. Luckily most of my stuff was in the back and was able to grab it before it went up. Living in a small town we have a volunteer fire department. They are great but at 1AM it takes a bit longer to respond. Even if they were full time it wouldn't have mattered.

Tires are toast too. They look ok in the pic and held air still but the tread is melted.

I lost a few things but nothing of huge value. Got most out the back. I retarded went back for the car seat while the flames were rolling in the front. A 5 dollar booster seat at that. Not the brightest moment.

Hope I answered all the questions. Now it is a waiting game on the insurance. I am pimping in my rental Neon now. I am teh shizzle.

Thanks for all the warm wishes.

Oh Chris can you fix my account on hxoc. Won't let me log in.

Makes we want to install some sort of quick disconnect for the electrical system since 99.9 % of the time any fire in the passenger compartment will be electrical in nature ( at least at the start)

Did you have an aftermarket radio installed or any other aftermarket wiring back there?

Yeah - they ought to have a big knife switch on the main battery cables so you can kill power more easily. It might not help in a situation like this - but if nothing else it would make vehicle repairs a little more convenient.

Man, glad to hear your okay! I hope the insurance company can set you up with a new X or something else.
