So I know I have been long absent the forums guys though some of you may remember me I have gotten into bike so I have kinda just halted plans on the car though I still have been using it.....
ANYWAYS so the 91 is up to 198,700k on the clock and last night I started the car up for a 5 minute drive to a nice place for a night walk with the girl..I hadn't even had the car about 15mph, and as we were driving along I looked to my left and noticed what looked like my turn signal flashing but it wasn't on. Pulled over open my door, and pretty much shat myself as I saw flames under the car
I pop the hood, and yea 2 foot flames from around the left side of the engine. I got it out, right before the fire department showed up but I definitely did some damage.... and I will post pictures once I can go by the garage I had it towed to just can't right now due to the holiday weekend.
My question also though, is has anyone else on here been unlucky enough to to experience this?![Egads!](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/pat.gif)

I havent heard of any either.
But ever since I saw some smoke after I did my valve cover gaskets, I have had a fire extinguisher mounted to the passenger floor mat.
And after this story, I will never remove it.

I didn't but I guess a while for me isn't really that long since I had been driving it all day for the most part. But on closer inspection it's looking like a fuel line rupture, but I won't know more until the shop tears into it and then I will let ya'll know the cause.
