Ok here is the full story...lol
Mike was sopposed to go and pick up a Dodge Caravan in Taylor (eureka and 75) that the owner was voluntarily letting him have ..they said the lights dont work so we will have to tow the car..we get there and just for the hell we try the lights and they work so we decided to just drive the car instead of towing it..well i get on the highway and im driving for about 3 miles and i see some sparks in the driver side mirror... i just think it was somebody's cigarette and dont think much of it as the car seems to be driving pretty good...a few moments go by and i see a few more..im starting to wonder at this point..i get ahold of mike on the radio and he says to keep driving it because he doesnt see any sparks..so i keep driving even though i see a few sparks from time to time..i tell him again that i keep seein sparks...he says we'll pull over and check it out and as we are talking a huge as cluster comes flying out of the driver side wheel well and Mike see's it in his mirror and yells "ok pull the fuck over!!!"
... luckily we were right near an exit and we roll into a church parking lot..i get out..hubcaps are MELTED TO THE WHEEL...both driver side and passenger side front calipers are bright red..and as im looking at them i start to see flames inside the wheel wells..i run to mikes truck and ask for water because the damn mini van is on fire..he grabs a fire extinguisher but cant figure out how to use the damn thing..so there we are..a mini van on fire..in a church parking lot... and mike trying to figure out how to use the fire extinguisher...it was priceless...
eventually he figures it out and puts out the fires but they keep starting up again..after about 15 minutes we hook the car and tow it back...
thats the end of story time for today...
