So none of them actually caught fire? They're just scared they might because they shoot flames?

Shit, I shoot flames with an open exhaust and I haven't had any problems yet.

I would use this feature to melt the tailgater's bumpers.

What's so new and shocking about this? Ford has a long, proud history of its vehicles catching on fire.

Least they finally caught onto that one, though.

Ford has never got a cruise control switch right. Mine is on recall in the Bronco actually. Hasn't worked since I've owned the vehicle.

My neighbor, and my grandfather almost lost their houses when their caddy's caught ablaze due to the faulty alarm systems. Luckily for both of them, the cars weren't in their garages.

My escort caught fire when the alternator decided to melt the harness. My stang caught fire twice (both my fault) so that doesn't really count. The Cutlass caught fire once. Fuel line burst. Same thing happened to my bosses 66 Corvette. Fuel line failed, and *poof*, gone in a cloud of smoke.

It happens. If they stopped buying cheap parts for their cars, they wouldn't have these problems.

It would payed off. More expensive parts are better made and will last longer making the vehicle more reliable. Consumers love things that don't break down all the time so they could of improved their reputation and made more sales. Of course they didn't take that route.

My friend's Suzuki Samurai shoots fire better than that, but we did that on purpose.

Haha, don't they sell flame thrower kits on cars for an upper range of $1,000+?

Haha, don't they sell flame thrower kits on cars for an upper range of $1,000+?We did it with a $2 relay, a small air tank we had laying around and about $10 for a solenoid valve and air tubing.
