Today, my classic car that I've put hours of wrench time into burst into flames when I tried to start it. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Same thing different taste

That would sum up me whenever I try and fix anything.

Oh man, that sucks! I'm sorry OP. Hopefully you'll be able to get another car soon! You could even find one that's even better than this one! Best of luck!

Same thing happened when I tried to make a bowl of cereal

Only a few hours? I've got hundreds of hours in each of my vintage bikes. You can rebuild.

Did you try turning it off and back on again?

I can't even imagine what that feels like. I probably would have died inside of that had happened when I was rebuilding my truck. Sorry to hear that OP.

Is your name Johnny Blaze?

Calm down Spencer Shay.

hope you had a fire extinguisher and damage was minimal and you understood what the problem was

hoping for a follow up with more info on the car.

Then obviously you didn't put in enough "Wrench Time" into this car. Sorry OP, that's what happens when you cut corners. YDI

should have watched those DIY YouTube videos more carefully.
