Post Honda Accord owner tries to throw cigarette butt out window but ends up failing badly

Another Honda owner proves my theory right....

http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news...48/detail.html


DENVER -- A man who had just moved from Florida to Denver will be looking for a new car after his caught fire and burned Thursday.

Zach Schultz told 7News that he was driving southbound on Colorado Boulevard, near Interstate 70, shortly after noon when he attempted to throw a cigarette he had been smoking out the window of his older model station wagon.

Schultz, 25, said the wind blew the cigarette back into his car, catching it on fire.

Denver firefighters closed the southbound lanes of Colorado for a time so they could fight the fire, which sent black smoke billowing into the sky.

The car was a total loss.

Would have been epic if it was a Lamborghini Murcielago and he flipped the car over in a panic and couldn't get out because of the wing doors.

Sad.... but epic.



Firefighter: God... that's tragic.
Cop: Yeah, one of the dangers of Lambo doors.
Firefighter: Why didn't he open the window and crawl out?
Cop: ...

Well then, I hope he reads CAR CHAT. He'll get some good car-buying recommendations.

And here's the best recommendation of all: Quit Smoking.

That's what he gets for trying to litter. I guess he moved to Colorado. That's one less idiot for us to deal with down here.

this guy is a fkin douchebag

he has an ashtray.

Yet, he heeds not Smokey The Bear's warning, and tries to start a wild fire.

luckily, the only fire was in his car.

I feel the same way about texters as i do about these cigarette litterbugs.

they all need to die in a fire

This dude needs to quit smoking. He will probably need to so that he can save for a new car. We all know that POS was not insured for more than the basic liability insurance.

enough with the Honda driver bashing though. Bash on bmw guys .lol
