So, do we get the details on the naked skunk story?

p.s. I've never had a canned soft drink explode in a vehicle, but I have had glass bottles (remember the good old days?) do so.

We'll be at the DAPS IDPA Match Wed at Elm Fork if you want to hear her tell it. She will be the pretty one with the Pink baseball hat on.

I have had a lighter explode on my dash too. I'm just lucky I wasnt in the car. Several peices of plastic stuck in the head rest of my seat.

I think sometimes ppl call bull just for the contraversy

The "hottest temperatures known to man"? Where is this man from, Rhode Island?

Many moons ago there were manual heat activated fire alarms for attics that wouldn't go off until they hit 185°. That was considered marginal for false alarms.

Here in the DFW area it can reach atleast 140 in car.
My mom had a friend that was a truck driver who had a lighter explode in the cab while he was driving down the road in an airconditioned cab, it threw shards all down the side of his body

It was real serious for about 3 seconds.

My eyes can follow handgun bullets when they go downrange and the can's pull tab looked a lot like a bullet when it crossed my line of sight. This combined with the loud bang and the impact with my shoulder was enought to trigger my response.

If you live near there you know how bad that area looks.

Really nice story the way you told it. I seriously thought something was up! I'm in that area working sometimes, so I thought it was strange that it was going down there in Plano.

The only question I have is why did the gang banger kids take a pizza into Taco Bueno and eat it there?

Why did they take a pizza into TB?

Probably because they bought it at Domino's delivery nearby then needed a place to eat it.

I guess I was wondering because if I had just bought a pizza I would take it home to my house and eat it. I know that's really weird, but just me I guess :grin:
