SUV blows up when woman lights cigarette

[muddkatt]

The Kia Sorento went BOOM when she lit a cigarette. My first thoughts was how dumb some people can be. The next thought was a thread on here about a month ago about smoking in our vehicles. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/203739-how-many-people-smoke-legal-stuff-in-their-new-truck/

 

 

 

I bet a hundred bucks that they have a "ringing in the ears" problem.

Ok. Non life threatening injuries. That's good.

 

Now who do you think they'll sue? Kia for sure. The grill manufacturer. The propane tank marketer. The cigarette lighter company. The tobacco conglomerate. And the local gas company, just for craps and giggles. Each one will say, geez it'll take $100k to defend, so we'll offer $50k to settle.

 

And the Darwin Awards miss another one...

Darwinism at its finest...

 

The Orlando Police Department said a driver and a passenger were driving a Kia Sorento with a barbecue grill inside.

Police said the grill, which was turned on, had a propane tank attached that was open and connected.

The passenger in the front seat lit a cigarette, police said, and that's when the explosion happened.

Ive owned Hyundais for 11 years, partner in a family business retired at 58. Drive to my condo 4 times a year sometimes in a Genesis, Camry, Chevy, Acura. Go on a cruise 2-4 times a year. How about you genius?

I don't need one. Just sitting with my coffee deciding with one of my 5 cars I'm going to drive today, two are Hyundais.

Propane has a distinct smell, so what went wrong. Might convince them her to quit smoking, NOT!. They have proven their not the brightest bulb in the pack.

[KARNUT]

If they'd smoked long enough they don't smell anything. I smoked for 20 years. When I quit it took me awhile to be able to smell again.
