Narrative

I JUST HAD THE TRANSFER CASE AND DIFFERENTIAL ON MY 1997 OLDS BRAVADA REPAIRED AND WAS DRIVING WHEN I HEARD A POP SOUND AND SAW FLAMES SHOOTING OUT FROM THE BOTTOM CENTER AND REAR OF MY VEHICLE. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY AND GOT EVERYONE OUT JUST BEFORE THE WHOLE THING WENT UP IN FLAMES. *NLM
