    The other day as I was passing the pilot in Winnemucca NV. Two pups with UPS logos were on fire in the area just before the fuel pumps. Don't seem to be able to find it in any news reports.

    Wonder what happened.

    My Ford Expedition caught on fire and burned to the ground last week.
    I will never buy another Ford.

    Could be axle components overheating (they say those tend to catch fire when stopped).

    Am i the only one that thinks using a terrible accident in which 36 people lost their lives as humor to be in poor taste and disgusting? What's next? jokes about the Connecticut school shooting?
