Holy ****!!! Now I'd be sad because I bet you that owner is still making payments on that. Hopefully he had stupid coverage on the insurance!

Makes me happy all we have to deal with is a recall with the wheel falling off. Imagine bringing your truck in for a recall that the engine may become an external combustion engine! LOL

Eh if it was as tough as the 1st gens you'd just hop back in it after they put out the fire, start it right up and keep on pulling that float haha. I hope he was leasing it because that usually requires you to get full coverage no matter what.

Don't worry guys, just look at it this way, Fords and GMs catch on fire all at time, it's just when Chryslers do it's so rare that it's news worthy haha. Looks like that's 1 more useless feature of the new D, a built-in grill.

Couldn't have been worse timing or location. Not only was this in a parade, but it was a highly publicized parade. Many people feared that parade wouldn't take place due to the potential of the gov't shutdown. Not good...

About the insurance... why wouldn't the guy have full coverage? If he has a loan at all it would be required. And, if he didn't have a loan, he had $45k + to drop on a Citadel... he's not hurting.

and what about the challenger that was lit up in the factory?
