Think you're having a bad day?

Thursday morning, my son attended a Beemer roast. His car was the guest of honor:

Thank God he's OK.

About halfway through the video, someone says, "He matches the car".

He said that after exiting the freeway, he started smelling gas fumes. He did not have room on the road to pull over, so he turned onto a street with room, and BANG!! The gas fumes ignited. He got out of the car pronto, and I'm surprised he didn't need a change of underwear after that. The car is toast. Literally.
