There have been some accidents around here where cars have exploded. So it can happen, though as I was arguing with my mom earlier today, that is the exception and not the rule. I fully realize that. I didn't care. I wasn't all there up stairs at the time (some will question wether I ever was to begin with) and getting far away from the vehicle seemed like a damn good idea. One which I have no regrets about.
