In an effort to improve efficiency and reduce unpredictability that comes with VW ownership, the Volkswagen group has instituted a new delivery program for the dealerships. Details can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/cnhur7f No longer do you have to sit and wonder when your new Volkswagen is going to burst into a ball of flame, now they can just deliver the charred remains directly to the dealership from the factory and eliminate the guessing that comes with owning a VW product and giving the owner true peace of mind that they won't be involved in a rolling Viking funeral.
Seattle FD has a pretty good powerpoint about a CNG fueled Honda Civic that almost took out an Engine crew and destroyed about 12 cars when the tank failed during a fire. The tank itself launched and hit the bottom of an overpass 90 feet above it.
I love the truck at around :45 that comes around to the drivethru area, then promptly backs away, then tears ass out of there a few seconds before the explosion. I bet the driver of that tan Maxima **** their pants.
