En una avenida de la ciudad congestionada, senti una suave explosion bajo mis pies, sale humo bajo la tapa del motor. El cable de acero que hala el gancho de la tapa del motor ya esta derretido. Abierta la tapa el fuego coge fuerza en 2 minutos los accesorios plasticos de ventilacion del motor, la bateria, el sistema electrico, el sistema de frenos, la correa de reparticion, el alternador; en fin todo el cubiculo del motor se quemo. El exterior del carro no sufrio danos excepto por la pintura bajo la rejilla decorativa de la tapa del motor, y la rejilla de ventilacion entre la tapa del motor y el cristal delantero (donde se ubican los limpiavidrios).
