To get them to catch fire, you have to hit them in the left rear, buckling the fender and shoving the tail light into the now-exposed gas tank filler. It only works on the coupes, not the wagons.
except that when they catch fire it goes right out because the cooling system will automatically crash and sent h2o all over the flames.
can’t drive them over 40mph before the overheat…
Very few cars catch fire from impact. In 30plus years of writing damage estimates, I have seen 1. It was a Ford Fairmont, nearly empty of gas when hit directly in the rear by a Peterbilt. Fear the vapors, not the fuel.

I hope that wasn’t your Pinto, Mr. Nursemaid.

He doesn’t need your pity, Dallas. –No, really, he doesn’t. You, on the other hand, are truly pitiable.

Only time you’ll get one to go over 40 is by having it fly off the side of a cliff…then, overheating is the last thing you’ll be worrying about…
