Ever had a electrical fire behind your dash?
I just did... Crap.
Lighter socket wire burned through the harness... Fried. Crap.
I guess I know what I'm doing today. Crap.
Might be parking to ole miata. Crap.
Sigh...

I saw that... That sucks. I grabbed a socket and disconnected my battery in a HURRY. I didn't get too at fortunately.

Sorry to hear of the misfortune but you have learned that car "up close and persoanl." Sort of built (or rebuilt) this one from a box of parts. Very glad your damage was not more serious.
glad you got to that one quick. trust me they can go from an minor PITA to this
really quickly
I had a 1959 MGA 1600. I don't think there was a day that I drove it that smoke didn't boil out from under the dash. Never had any flames and the car always started the next day.

Stupid Lucas.
On the track, I am fearless.
If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
