Wha'?

I was a few blocks away from home driving when I saw this truck, eerily familiar to the one I owned for years, dripping large pieces of burning goop underneath the front end. I turned around, stopped, and ran towards the store right in front of it because at that time there wasn't very much smoke at all and I thought they might not have seen it. By the time I got on the sidewalk the owner of the truck was heading towards the drivers side door and we had to yell at him not to try to get in the truck. Then it was quickly engulfed in flames and everyone went across the street. Totally weird. I would have been freaking out but he just stood there on his cell phone.
