Horrible

Guess time to rebrand to the "917".

Boeing 717

Should buff right out.

Heard an interview with the driver. Gas spilled, he tried to squeegy it off the side of his car and ended up pushing gas up on to the exhaust.

3 engineers from Germany were flown out to evaluate the situation.

^I did not think that gasoline on hot exhaust could combust without some sort of a spark? Unless red hot, which I doubt that would have been the case with this car being street driven?

Either way this is a terrible fail mode!

Gasoline will autoignite at a temperature around 440º F if I remember right. Potentially plausible on such a short exhaust if the cats were hot.

possibly first 918 to the auto wreckers for parts
