My Buddy and i were driving around in his 00 gp gt (my cars twin exatly the same car option for option) we were driving back from carroll and when we parked in front of his house with our cars facing each other nose for nose we went in and 10 min later we looked outside cuz we hear a pop and his grand prix was on FIRe. i ran out and moved my car the hella way and the fire department came 20 min later but by the then the whole front of he car was engulfed in flames....pics to come of this sad day... R.I.P Grand prix 2000-2008

ouch... had he been doing any work to it recently?
or was he driving it real hard before he shut it down?
This might be a lesson to learn, get a fire extinguisher

idk about the muffler bearings being the issue. I think it could have been the kanuter valve stuck shut and caused the blinker fluid to start boiling.

shut down procedures make a point to emphasize disarming the JATO system during cool down. This is why.
Here's to the Golden Highways above with no traffic jams.
