I don't really know who to report this to. So, I will begin with you. Last week, our 1993 lincoln town car had been parked in our driveway for about 10 hours when it just went up in flames. It was 6:00 a.m. When a man driving to work, knocked on our door and told us our car was on fire. We had flames some 30' high in our front yard. My husband backed in the car in the driveway, otherwise our house would have been lost, too. A co-worker told me that her neighbor lost her entire house because her 93 lincoln spontaneously caught on fire in her garage. No one was in the car and had not been in the car overnight. It just went up in flames. I have lots of pictures if you need them!
