Ok so today my car caught on fire. I crunk the car up and it started running after about 3 secs it cut back off by itself. So i tried to cut it back on next thing i know i see white smoke and then it started turning black so i knew immediately it was on fire and i was scared to open the hood so i took the keys out and just walked away from the car had my friend to call the fire dept. By time I walked to the other side of the street I saw fire under the car. I dont not know what caused this to happened but I do know everything under the hood is melted including the engine. Wish I could post the pics but the pics are too big to post on here. If you really wanna see the pics I posted them on the Oldsmobile OCA page on facebook and there is also a video of what the engine looks like as well.

To be honest it was gettin worst by the min. I saw the fire under the car so I told my friend to call the Fire dept. The fire was still goin when they got here. So basically the fire was burning for about a good 5-7mins. It started gettin worst right before the fire fighters got there though.
